In case you think that you have heard every interpretation of Beethoven’s music, Marcus Roberts with the Modern Jazz Generation present jazz improvisations on Beethoven’s “Moonlight” and “Waldstein” sonatas on May 11. This “only in Koerner Hall” concert will also include variations on Leonard Bernstein’s West Side Story and On the Town. As the Philadelphia Inquirer remarked, “Pianist Marcus Roberts is known for many things: a genius skill that makes him the logical successor to Thelonious Monk’s wild style (with a lot of Fats Waller in his stride), an immense love of the blues, technological innovations in regard to composing for the blind, and a soulful sense of tradition and invention.” This concert concludes the Beethoven@250 Festival, begun in 2020 but interrupted by COVID-19.
