Episode Details

Early music rock band, Ruckus, makes their Pittsburgh debut with bass-baritone, Davóne Tines! Founder and Artistic Director Clay Zeller-Townson, spoke with Jim Cunningham about the program, which marks the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

"What is Your Hand in This?" brings together George Frederick Handel with Stephen Foster's "Beautiful Dreamer," "Chester" by William Billings, spirituals and Frank Sinatra's "The House I Live In." Davóne Tines sings, as does the Lemington Gospel Chorale, conducted by Reverend Deryk Tines, who is the cousin of Davóne Tines. Pittsburgh will be the grand finale of a successful tour to Carnegie Hall in New York; Portland, Oregon; Washington, DC; and San Francisco. The Washington Classical Review said the shape of the program was "an artwork in itself."
