Eliot Schoolyard Summer Concert Series

Shaw Pong Liu & Brian Friedland Two dynamic composers create an afternoon combining free improvisation and compositions by each. Shaw Pong Liu (violin) engages communities in conversations through musical collaboration. Her work has addressed birdsong and healing, sunlight and warmth, healing and homicide, racism, and the police. Brian Friedland (piano), initiator of the Eliot Schoolyard Concerts, writes music that reflects his love of collaboration and musical diversity. For the opening concert of the series, we’ll offer ice cream by JP Licks.
