Hear them perform Blue in its entirety\, a performance that marks the album’s fifty-year anniversary. \nReimann’s retrospective of the work of Joni Mitchell began in 2012 when she\, Temple\, Thad DeBrock and Felipe Torres performed the album\, Blue\, at The Bitter End. After that\, with her collaborators and especially with Temple\, she has acquired a repertoire of over 30 songs from Mitchell’s first six albums\, performing shows in four US states. \nThe New Yorker has described Reimann as “an uncanny interpreter of Mitchell’s canon” and Patrick Leader of JoniMitchell.com commented: “All of these renditions were note-perfect. There are few better ways to spend an evening than to hear Joni Mitchell’s music done well.” \nMitchell was one of many artists reviewed by New York Times critic Robert Shelton\, whose\, critique of a callow Bob Dylan at Gerdes Folk City on September 29\, 1961\, launched his career. Of Mitchell\, playing at The Bitter End\, he wrote in the Times on July 5\, 1968\, that songs such as “Circle Game” and “Both Sides Now” were her strongest to date\, “foreshadowing a strong future as a writer”. Under the headline “Singer-Songwriters Are Making a Comeback”\, Shelton noted “a fine voice”\, observing that Mitchell “writes like a poet and strums like the devil.” \nPerformers\n\nHannah Reimann\nMichele Temple\n\n  \n  URL:https://www.thevillagetrip.com/event/blue-celebrating-the-50th-anniversary-of-joni-mitchells-acclaimed-album/ LOCATION:The Bitter End\, 147 Bleecker Street\, New York\, NY\, NY 10012-1436\, United States CATEGORIES:2021 Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/gif:https://www.thevillagetrip.com/festival/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Blue-Poster.gif END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210926T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210926T230000 DTSTAMP:20260603T061058 CREATED:20210721T135952Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210925T091320Z UID:10000033-1632684600-1632697200@www.thevillagetrip.com SUMMARY:Sing Out! The Village Trip Hootenanny DESCRIPTION:This event will also be livestreamed on Youtube. See below for tickets. You will be able to watch this event live\, or at any time after broadcast.\nA glorious finale to The Village Trip – join Christine Lavin and friends\, including David Buskin and Robin Batteau\, for the now-traditional Village Trip hoot\, a celebration of the New York folk revival and its rich and enduring heritage. \nGreenwich Village has been the epicenter of so much of 20th century culture and counterculture\, and it was ground zero of the New York folk revival which could be said to have begun on March 3\, 1940\, when Pete Seeger met Woody Guthrie at a benefit for the John Steinbeck Committee for Agricultural Workers. By the 1960s\, it was well underway and on rickety stages in so many Village clubs and coffee houses the likes of Phil Ochs. Tom Paxton\, Judy Collins\, Eric Andersen\, and Dave van Ronk\, “the Mayor of MacDougal Street”\, plied their trade. On Sundays\, the fountain in Washington Square Park was a magnet for students and kids from out of town\, among them a teenage Janis Ian. \nBob Dylan hitched his way east in January 1961\, in search of Guthrie. He was soon scuffling for dimes in the clubs\, probably making his debut at the Gaslight\, and securing a residency at Gerdes Folk City. Robert Shelton’s New York Times review of “A bright new face in folk music” (September 29\, 1961) launched Dylan’s career and the sounds of the folk revival found their echo far beyond the United States. \nChristine Lavin\, whose work has won numerous awards\, was waiting tables at the legendary Caffé Lena in Saratoga where she was spotted by Dave Van Ronk\, who persuaded her to move to New York City and pursue a career as a singer-songwriter. Her unique style – quirky\, observational\, humorous – quickly established her as a figure beloved by both audiences and her peers and she released her debut album in 1981. Join Christine and some of her many friends and musical collaborators for an uplifting evening of stories and songs. \nWith Sing Out! The Village Trip will once again celebrate a remarkable era in a fabled club on whose stage Dylan played and innumerable careers were launched. \nAnd happy 60th birthday to the Bitter End! \nWatch a trailer for Sing Out!\n \nPerformers\n\nDavid Amram\nDavid Buskin and Robin Batteau\nRene Hart\nChristine Lavin\nDavid Massengill\nHannah Reimann\nMichele Temple URL:https://www.thevillagetrip.com/event/sing-out/ LOCATION:The Bitter End\, 147 Bleecker Street\, New York\, NY\, NY 10012-1436\, United States CATEGORIES:2021 Highlights,2021 Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.thevillagetrip.com/festival/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Sing-Out-featured.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210925T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210925T213000 DTSTAMP:20260603T061058 CREATED:20210721T135833Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210925T094825Z UID:10000031-1632598200-1632605400@www.thevillagetrip.com SUMMARY:Bodies Electric Celebrates the Music of Edgard Varèse\, and Frank Zappa and the Psychedelic Circus DESCRIPTION:Bodies Electric is an electric guitar quartet founded by John Chang\, who assembled a group of players devoted to experimentation and improvisation. Charles Wuorinen’s Electric Quartet (2015) was written for Chang and Bodies Electric\, a psychedelic electronic medium with pungent rock overtones. Among the composers whose work they have performed: Frank Zappa. \nIn addition to Varèse and Zappa\, featured composers in tonight’s concert include David Claman\, Kanghee Choi\, Frank Brickle\, Terry Champlin\, David Loeb \, Kyle Miller\, Paula Matthusen\, Gillian Welch\, John Chang and William Anderson. \nZappa was a self-taught composer whose work embraced rock\, pop\, jazz\, chamber\, orchestral\, fusion\, and musique concrète. He first heard about Edgard Varèse\, the father of electronic music\, in a Look magazine article and began to seek out his music\, eventually spotting The Complete Works of Edgard Varèse\, Volume One in a sale bin – it had been used\, unsuccessfully\, to demonstrate hi-fi. On his fifteenth birthday\, Zappa used $5 from his mother to call the composer: “I figured Mr Varèse lived in New York because the record was made in New York (and because he was so weird\, he would live in Greenwich Village). I got New York Information\, and sure enough\, he was in the phone book.” Zappa never did meet the man he described as “my idol” and treasured a letter he received from him in 1957\, written in “very tiny scientific-looking script”. \nVarèse died in 1965 and his house at 188 Sullivan Street is marked by a plaque. Not long after\, Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention began a residency at the Garrick Theater\, 152 Bleecker Street\, above the Café au Go-Go… opened to rival the Bitter End. \nPerformers\n\nWilliam Anderson\nJohn Chang\nOren Fader\nJohn Ferrari\nSharon Harms\nKyle Miller URL:https://www.thevillagetrip.com/event/bodies-electric/ LOCATION:The Bitter End\, 147 Bleecker Street\, New York\, NY\, NY 10012-1436\, United States CATEGORIES:2021 Highlights,2021 Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.thevillagetrip.com/festival/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Bodies-Electric.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20210925T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20210925T210000 DTSTAMP:20260603T061058 CREATED:20210721T140121Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210925T145523Z UID:10000035-1632596400-1632603600@www.thevillagetrip.com SUMMARY:The Joy of Music: A Concert by Students of The Third Street Music School Settlement DESCRIPTION:This event will also be livestreamed.

See below for tickets. You will be able to watch this event live\, or at any time after broadcast.\n\nAaron Copland proclaimed David Del Tredici “that rare find among composers – a creator with a truly original gift. I venture to say that his music is certain to make a lasting impression on the American musical scene. I know of no other composer of his generation who composes music of greater freshness and daring\, or with more personality.” \nDel Tredici forged a new compositional path\, neo-romanticism\, a response to the atonality of the 1960s in which he came of age. Speaking for himself\, he has said: “Music is not a religion\, nor is it a duty. It is an entertainment. All that a composer really does is realize his own particular musical fantasy with a certain selection of notes\, rhythms and timbres.” \nThe composer credits Marc Peloquin with reviving his interest in the piano and the two men have worked closely these past twenty years. Peloquin\, whose career is focused on living composers\, is in the process of recording Del Tredici’s complete works for solo piano\, some of which\, including S/M Ballade\, have been composed specially for him. \nPerformers\n\nDavid Del Tredici\nMarc Peloquin\n\nThis concert is supported by the Roger Shapiro Fund for New Music.
