Annie Moses Band
AECOM Center for the Performing Arts 126 Newberry St., Aiken, South Carolina 29801
The Annie Moses Band is unlike any ensemble in America today. Described as classical crossover, the band's innovative sound has delighted audiences around the world - in record breaking numbers of airings on PBS and on stages as diverse as Carnegie Hall and the Grand Ole Opry. This is a family outfit, whose members include parents Bill (composer/arranger/pianist) and Robin (lyricist/vocalist) Wolaver and their children: Annie, Alex, Benjamin, Gretchen, Camille & Jeremiah. They are no strangers to musical innovations. The older siblings trained at Juilliard School of Music and the youngest are well on their way to similar distinction.
Together, as Annie Moses Band, they combine all their attributes: love for one another, prodigious talent, as well as a creative curiosity that goes beyond the classics, beyond even music, and into the great questions of life. The sheer eclectic energy of this family is something to behold, and once seen, they will not be forgotten.
The Annie Moses Band combines the best of beloved genres in a style that unifies audiences, young and old, classical connoisseurs and roots enthusiasts, jazz aficionados and bluegrass buffs. This is outstanding music. Distilled from the industrial rhythms of a bustling world, Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue redefined genres and coined a sound quintessentially American. Following in the footsteps of this American giant, Rhapsody in Bluegrass fuses jazz, classical, and roots music to create one dynamic, genre-bending concert experience. Rhapsody in Bluegrass is a panoramic exploration of American music.
