Charles Coe's Cricket Symphony is a program of poetry & music based on the poetry of award-winning African American writer & musician Charles Coe, with music including original compositions by Ken Field. Coe will read selected works with musical interludes performed by an ensemble of outstanding instrumentalists led by Field/sax & flute, and including Blake Newman/bass, Phil Neighbors/drums, Tad Price/guitar. With a wide-ranging song list inspired by the poetry, the program features jazz, gospel, pop, Americana, funk, and improvisation. Together, the words and music pay homage to the breadth of the American musical experience. After two successful seasons on Cape Cod, the current presentation features all-new poetry and music. The performances of the original Symphony of Crickets received great public response:
“Such an amazing show, amazing talent, and fabulous artistry!”
“Fabulous performance!”
“Symphony of Crickets exceeded expectations with a wonderful blend of poetry and music."
