Queens will sound so beautiful. On March 23, the Flushing Branch Library will host borough-based world musicians who will play songs by past Queens residents. The program will feature woodwind quintets by Beata Moon (a resident of Forest Hills) and James Cohn (Douglaston), The Stuff of Comets by Dylan Glatthorn (Astoria), tangos by Christopher Caliendo (Jackson Heights) and the premiere of a new work based on Tibetan influence by Xinyan Li (Flushing). But the beat goes on. The concert will feature music by past residents including jazz by Louis Armstrong (Corona), rags by Scott Joplin (who is buried in St. Michael Cemetery in East Elmhurst), Pavanne by Pulitzer Prize-winner Morton Gould (Richmond Hill), music from the Harry Potter films by Academy Award-winner John Williams (Flushing) and William Grant Still’s theme song for the 1939 Worlds Fair.
