Norman Zocher's Electric Strings Quintet
Guitarist and composer Norman Zocher brings his genre-bending Electric Strings Quintet to Berk Recital Hall. This concert, which draws from classical and rock traditions, features Zocher on guitar, surrounded by fellow faculty members: Mimi Rabson (violin), Rebecca Shrimpton (voice), Abby Aronson Zocher (bass), and Mike Connors (drums).
The quintet will perform Zocher’s “Rock Ethic,” commissioned by Rabson with a Berklee grant, featured in Strings Magazine, released on Affetto Records, and performed around the globe by former Metropolitan Opera Orchestra concertmaster Elmira Darvarova. The concert also will include Zocher’s work, “Slow and Heavy,” which has been performed by the Berklee World Strings.
