Violinist and composer Josh Henderson is wrapping up a year at the University of Iowa as a Grant Wood Fellow with a brand-new composition inspired by the memory of Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, Richie Valens, and pilot Ralph Peterson, who died in the 1959 Clear Lake plane crash later tagged by singer Don MacLean as The Day The Music Died.”
Josh’s piece encompasses Rock and Roll, Classical, Hip-Hop, Dance and Video to pay tribute to the men, their lives, and the music we remember to this day.
The UI’s Damani Phillips joins members of the University Dance Program as well as musicians from Chicago and New York in this world premier.
April 4, 7:30pm in the Stark Opera Studio Theater in the Voxman Music Building in downtown Iowa City. Admission is free. Visit www.joshhendersonmusic.com for more info.
