Orchestra Iowa presents a towering work for orchestra and chorus at “German Requiem,” May 3 & 4. Joining the orchestra for this beautiful piece by Brahms will be Chorale Midwest, with two nationally-renown soloists.
Music director Tim Hankewich says that because Brahms used many different New Testament verses for his text, rather than just funeral liturgy, the work is uplifting and inspiring in a different manner than other works of a similar theme.
May 3 at the Paramount Theatre, May 4 at Iowa City West High School. Tickets and info at www.orchestraiowa.org.

The KCCK Featured CD for May is “Bolden” from Wynton Marsalis. Buddy Bolden ranks among the most influential yet obscure figures in the pantheon of American music and is widely credited by musicians of the era as being the first jazz musician and bandleader in history. In his playing, composing, arranging and musical direction of the soundtrack to a brand new biopic, Mr. Marsalis captures the spirit of the legendary cornetist and his greatest musical descendant Louis Armstrong. It includes a mix of classic tunes associated with the pair along with Marsalis originals. “Bolden”, the original motion picture soundtrack by Wynton Marsalis on Blue Engine Records. Purchase the CD.
