Is there a listing available of the members of the ensemble?

TUTTO BENE !👍

Wonderful. Everyone should go to Ojai at least once. First rate musicians and first rate music. Do it.

How soon is soon??

Great stuff, a kind of new combination of jazz and contemporary, with other items thrown in. Love it!

This is such a joyous mingling of the piano and voice, gracious artistry from this talented duo. Enchanting concert.

Will it be streamed like last summer!!??!!

I wish my Italian Mom could have heard this. She would have loved Rhiannon's voice and interpretations.

It's always beautiful to see and hear someone with GOD-given talents put it to good use. The young Lady is one in a million.

totally boring music. Stop with the minimalism.

I am appalled that I only discovered Rhiannon this year. I have missed so much. What a wonderful voice and presence.

Utterly gorgeous voice.

Thank you so much for this wonderful moment

The song Vedrai Vedrai by Luigi Tenco could be considered the Italian A Change Is Gonna Come. By the way, similar tragic stories Sam Cooke and Tenco. Congrats to Rhiannon and Francesco for this beautiful version.

Magnificent!

Amazing artistry

Doin scat in Italian!!!! Fantastic!!!! You both are awesome!!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful, fresh sound. 🌄🌼💟🕊️ IN USA 3.17.24

Just saw the opening of Rhiannon's US tour, amazing energy, effort, and pure joy from her band of musical collaborators. She delivered a powerful performance with both fun and meaningful lyrics. Her vocal talent and range is unmatched.

These two are truly magnificent. I hope they make it to Japan one day.

I guess from the lack of comments, there’s apparently no words for how great this recital is! Rhiannon, no one projects voice and countenance as well as you. Your expression with your chosen instruments is genius! And that piano player dude of yours is masterful, at times even haunting. Good call on that. All the best to you both, and to my eyes and ears.

I am proud to have been a composition and piano student of Leonard Stein. "openness' as John Adams says -- that was Leonard. We studied Beethoven's sonatas the way Schoenberg probably taught them. A deep search for the unity, in this music. motivic passages, that in retrospect, I wonder if Beethoven was aware, of connections between the movements of the sonatas. At the same time, Leonard could accept John Cage -- the word is, that he found it all interesting. I remember the Paul Klee painting he had on his wall. I'm proud to say that I don't know how I did it because I was living with the Beats in Venice West at the time, but somehow I managed to present Leonard Stein in a solo performance of all of Schoenberg's piano music. Leonard Stein was at the forefront of contemporary music in Los Angeles, premiering major works by Boulez (the 3rd sonata), Stockhausen, Luigi Nono as well as Ives. He deserves a page in any book describing the history of the 20th-century avant Garde. He was always a supportive and encouraging teacher.

She takes on a great deal of music. Her commitment to contemporary music is life and death ,necessary and important. In a short time she has distinguished herself. First I heard her Stravinsky. I knew this was a talent w/something to say. I hope she like the Italian virtuosA will play Wallen and Marsalis ' concerti. Black composers are also fighting the battle to get ideas and legacies brought to serious music!

Wonderful!

Storm for ever!!!

Hiii miss Laura it's me London from Mira monty

STUNNING

Phenomenal

"A door unlocked in my mind"✨️❤️ Incredible work👏🏻👏🏻

"over by now"???? Are you saying she is old?

It's always nice when the quality of a composer's music matches their personality. I love his score to Nope. ❤

gorgeousness

Watching from the Capital of Nevada, Carson City! BRAVO! ;)

I just found rhannon 2 hour ago, of History of the Banjo and song 'Julie' all really WONDERFUL This is so cool this song sounds like a Lena Horme singing?!? mmmmm... Carry on Great Show! Hope to see more in future. -Gina

A wonderful performance!

Extraordinary evening....and I think we all agree with Yo Yo Ma when he writes "When I hear Kayhan Kalhor play, I realize I am in the presence of someone who is just a total master.

It really was wonderful, and thanks to those responsible for providing these video memories! I luckily stumbled across Ms. Giddens' info a couple of months ago and immediately purchased tickets to take in this wonderful event for the first time. I am so glad I did. I actually think I left a better person than when I came. Thank you to all of the artists, attendees, organizers, contributors, exhibitors, and volunteers. It was terrific, as was the hospitality of the people from Ojai. And I loved the Soule Park Golf Club on Monday morning to top it all off before slow rolling it down the coastal roads back to Solana Beach (San Diego). Peace and love to all...SS

Sitting here listening to your stunningly beautiful performance... I might call your composition "When my heart returns to... where it's always been. Thankyou

Saw this at the festival. The third movement in particular, Liquid Jungles is electrifying, and even beyond what I expected.

Awe, embodied wonder within and without. All levels of body, mind and spirit are joyfully, deliciously, dancing, singing and celebrating the profound interconnectedness we all share. Thanks , gratitude, renewal and resonance.

and many many thanks much gratitude kudos to those involved in the live stream and free to us. Extremely generous. OMF will go in my will though I don't have much.

beyond my expectations -- almost made it there in person but didn't alas. Thank you for keeping the entire program extremely humane and thoughtful. I so love Rhiannon Giddens (didn't check spelling again) ...As a musician (though amateur) I am so happy not all of USA life has become horrid and insane. Island of sanity, acoustical organic old and new, beautifully intellectual and MORE....🎹🎻🪕🎺🎤🔳🫐🥝🍊🍉🍇💃🖐

A fabulous performance among the oaks of Ojai

Just the BEST weekend of amazing artistry. I am sad to see the festival end but had a full weekend of stunning creativity. And I feel extremely lucky to have gotten to see the world premiere of Omar. What a GIFT. So much fun to be in the Livestream chat with hundreds of people from all over the world. Seeing so many different instruments and joyful musicians from myriad cultures. Thank you so much. I can’t wait for next year’s festival and hope that it will be streamed for us to make contributions toward the breathtaking art we get to witness for a full long weekend. Thanks to entire team. And thank you to Rhiannon Giddens who continues to stun with her many gifts and her giant heart. ☮️

what is the name of that enormous lute?

Just lovely. Thank you for this beautiful music stream.

BRAVO!!!

This was simply stunning. I saw her perform with Paul Simon at the Grammy celebration of his life just a couple weeks ago and noticed those changes lines … how wonderful to hear the story about it. And this entire evening was just AMAZING. THANK YOU so very much. And thanks to the Livestream team for making it possible for so many of us to enjoy it.

Magnificent performance in a special setting and town. Such a joy to witness in person.
