Songs & Satire by The SuzeMuze
If past is prologue by rave review, get ready for “a lift out of the flat world blues.” Tony and Emmy awarded talent have acclaimed working with Susan Gabriel. Celebrated also as The SuzeMuze, Gabriel makes her debut at Live Arts Studio Saturday, November 4 at 7:30pm. The notably “ineffable” singer, writer, storyteller and TV talent takes the audience on a “mesmerizing” song and satire storied musical adventure titled Out Of This World. At a time we could all use a boost, Gabriel offers up a playful, at times poignant, refreshing take on life. The solo driven performance opens with American songbook jazz favorites that give way to industry recognized original songs by the “captivating” songstress. The production emerged from Los Angeles to New York encore performances, evoking a coast to coast music arts concert series. All star surprise guests engage in the fold of Gabriel’s seamless entertainment and inspired community enrichment. Though new to Annapolis, Gabriel is a St. John’s College Graduate Institute alum and hosts a community TV awarded master class student program.
Ian Wardenski is a theorist, composer, guitarist, and educator. As a composer and guitarist, Ian is celebrated for his harmonic aesthetic, which has been described as “warm and complex with colorizations that reflect the modern jazz idiom” – Nolan DeBuke, The Jazz Word. These harmonic characteristics, as well as Wardenski’s angular and additive approach to melody and rhythm, can be heard throughout his debut album Collective Thoughts, which was released in Spring 2019. Join us as the Ian Wardenski Quintet comes to The Studio on December 1 at 7:30pm!
