Bill Banfield & Dan Cavanagh
Audra Lange
A close-up of William Banfield.
William Banfield
The scope of Bill Banfield’s work in classical music, academia and the intersection of the two is immense. Somehow, the Wisconsin Chamber Orchestra’s composer in residence has also found time along the way to record and perform as a jazz guitarist. His July album, Take Time to Listen, features contemplative solo guitar takes on songs by Sting, Carole King, Earl Klugh, along with a few Great American Songbook standards and Banfield originals. For this concert he will play solo and as a duo with pianist Dan Cavanagh, another composer and player comfortable in both classical and jazz modes (and director of the UW Mead Witter School of Music)
media release: $20.
A masterpiece musical presentation. I would not be surprised if “Take Time to Listen” is nominated for a Grammy award. Bill Banfield’s playing is amazing, smooth and complicated… his solos are creative and inspired.” - Dede McNeil
