Off-Broadstreet Presents a Love Letter to Musical Theater: "A Class Act" Sings and Dances Through the Life of Ed KlebanDonald GilpinA Class Act, currently playing at Off-Broadstreet Theatre in Hopewell, is the musical biography of Ed Kleban, creator of the lyrics for A Chorus Line and also the composer of many unproduced songs and several musicals. Mr. Kleban, who died of cancer in 1987 at the age of 48, led a troubled life, rich in its conflict and complexity. Imani Winds Enliven Princeton University Chapel With Their Innovative and Multicultural ProgramNancy PlumClassical music is not just about Mozart anymore. Over the past few decades, many ensembles have been stretching their ranges to incorporate cross-cultural influences on classical music, including jazz and African or Caribbean elements. Imani Winds was founded in 1996 for just that purpose: to explore the links between European, African, and American musical traditions. Flutist Valerie Coleman, oboist Toyin Spellman, clarinetist Mariam Adam, hornist Jeff Scott and bassoonist Monica Ellis brought their multicultural approach to Princeton University Chapel last Tuesday night as part of the Princeton University Summer Concert Series. |
