Presented by:

Vesuvius Ensemble

Event Details

Otterville, with Andrew Downing & friends

October 11, 2024

8:00pm, Heliconian Hall

Vesuvius is delighted to collaborate with the recently-formed ensemble known as Otterville, a brainchild of the brilliant contrabassist and arranger Andrew Downing.  Described as “a foray into the complex simplicity of his ancestral Tobacco Belt lineage,” this project features music by such disparate artists as Kurt Weill, Billy Strayhorn, Eric Satie, and Bill Frisell, and on this occasion will mix with Vesuvius’s take on the great Italian film composer Nino Rota.
