Josiah Catalan

Left Coast Chamber Ensemble

Stravinsky’s A Soldier’s Tale, written and performed during the 1918 flu epidemic, is a satirical examination of the pursuit of happiness. We pair this iconic tale with a new work for the same jazz-inspired forces, in which Arna Bontemps’ novel Black Thunder clashes with contemporary social crises. Omari Tau brings his theatrical brilliance to both works.

A Soldier’s Tale & Interrogations

Bayview Opera House (BVOH)

Get to know composer Josiah Catalan and the musicians of the Left Coast Chamber Ensemble at a special event at the Piedmont Center for the Arts. Josiah will share how a trip he took to the Southern Philippines opened up a new musical world and how that connects to the new concerto he wrote for flutist Stacey Pelinka and Left Coast. You’ll get to hear the preview performance of Night of the South Winds and join in the Q&A with Josiah and the musicians. This talk is free and includes a reception.
