The Queen鈥檚 Cartoonists (main series)
The Queen鈥檚 Cartoonists
The Queen鈥檚 Cartoonists play music from classic cartoons and contemporary animation. The performances are synchronized to video projections of the original films, and the band leads the audience through a world of virtuosic musicianship, multi-instrumental mayhem, and comedy.
Behind the project is a single question is鈥攊t possible to create jazz and classical music in the 21st century that appeals to everyone? Even people who normally wouldn鈥檛 go to concerts? The Queen鈥檚 Cartoonists present a concert for everybody - regardless of age, gender, or familiarity with the concert hall.
Tying this diverse concert together are comedic anecdotes involving the cartoons and their composers. The band is on a musical mission of equal parts performance, preservation, and education. Expect the unexpected from repertoire that includes the Golden Age of animation, cult cartoon classics, modern animation, and elements of a musical circus!
