On Friday, February 1st at 8 & 10:30PM, the Inter-Media Art Center in Huntington, Long Island, will host a concert with BELA FLECK and EDGAR MEYER.

Already a powerfully creative force in bluegrass, jazz, pop, rock and world beat, the pioneering banjo virtuoso and bandleader, five-time Grammy winner BÉLA FLECK at last makes the classical connection with Perpetual Motion. Fleck has virtually reinvented the image and sound of the banjo in a remarkable performing/recording career that has taken him all over the musical map. On Perpetual Motion, Fleck plays imaginative new arrangements of favorite works by Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, Tchaikovsky and others. Fleck developed the recording and the arrangements with the collaboration of his longtime friend and colleague, the bass virtuoso and composer EDGAR MEYER, who also appears on this date.

Fleck is a New York City native who picked up the banjo at age 15 after being awed by the bluegrass playing of Flatt & Scruggs. In 1982, he joined the progressive bluegrass band New Grass Revival, where he made a name for himself in the country-bluegrass world. In 1989, he formed the Flecktones which soon became a commercially successful, critically acclaimed and award-winning band. Bela Fleck is the only musician to be nominated for Grammys in jazz, bluegrass, pop, country, spoken word, Christian, composition and world music categories, and we're pleased to welcome him back to IMAC's stage.
