Under the Beams concert set for March 13
Under the Beams Concert Series is pleased to present Fareed Haque and the
Flat Earth Ensemble on Saturday, March 13, at 8 pm at the Rapp-Owen Granary
in New Harmony.
Guitar virtuoso Fareed Haque enjoys a career that spans the spectrum of
musical styles. Along with his Flat Earth Ensemble, he successfully tackles
the cross hybridization of Middle Eastern instruments and rhythms with
mainstream jazz. Combining the traditional sounds of tabla, sitar, and
Hindustani violin with jazz-inspired guitar and bass, as well as electric
piano, the Ensemble bends tradition to the will of creativity, letting the
music take on a life of its own. The resulting sound is a culmination of
years of study and innovation blended with talented and fearlessly
individualistic jazz musicians to create this lively jazz fusion with a
world beat.
Moving easily between jazz and classical guitar, Fareed's versatility has
created a demand for him with prominent jazz, rock, and classical artists
including Dizzy Gillespie, Sting, and Paquito D'Rivera, among others. He has
performed all of the major guitar concertos, is an active transcriber of
baroque as well as South American music, and has had numerous modern works
dedicated to him.
Born in 1963 to a Pakistani father and Chilean mother, Fareed’s extensive
travels as a youth, especially long stays in Spain, France, Iran, Pakistan,
and Chile, exposed him to a wide variety of music. This influenced his
capacity and ability to bring forth his eclectic brand of music and has
contributed to his wide popularity. He studied jazz at North Texas State
University and classical music at Northwestern University in Chicago. He is
a professor of jazz and classical guitar at Northern Illinois University.
This is the third concert of the Under the Beams season and will be followed
by Corky Siegel and Chamber Blues on April 10, the final performance in this
year’s series. These concerts offer musical excitement to concertgoers with
diverse musical performances in this wonderful venue where every seat is a
good seat.
General admission tickets for this concert are $28.00 and students are
$15.00. For tickets and information, call our box office at 812-682-3128 or
