After an eight-year hiatus, the Brian Friedland Big Band returns for a special evening of original music and imaginative large-ensemble jazz. Performed by a 20-piece orchestra of some of Boston’s finest musicians, Friedland’s compositions draw inspiration from diverse sources including poetry, travel, personal experiences, classical minimalism, and contemporary music styles, creating works rich in imagery, narrative, and emotional depth.
The concert premieres a new composition exploring chance-based improvisation, inviting spontaneous musical interactions and unexpected sonic landscapes – and a fresh big band arrangement of John Williams’s iconic Star Wars theme, reimagined through the lens of modern jazz. Combining intricate writing, adventurous improvisation, and powerful ensemble playing, this rare performance marks the long-awaited return of a big band dedicated to bringing new music to life.
