Barry Green - Four Elements

The Four Elements is a unique program for solo bass, piano, and narrator.

The stunning visuals, music and script remind the audiences of both the joys they bring to our lives while at the same time humbly alert us to their fragility and destructive power.

This program is an appropriate experience for multiple audiences and venues including house concerts, chamber music series, benefit programs for the environment, nature centers, schools, religious services and education programs, museums, libraries, conservatories, and music programs for all ages.

Barry has created a special 5th segment in the Four Elements program for every community where he performs. For example the enclosed the Australian segment (video), is set to the song “Bring Him Home” from Les Misérables. This video is customized to whatever city or place where the 4 Elements is performed.

From the moment you started to play, tears dropped out of my eyes and for some reason I couldn’t stop them until the very end. All this music, the videos, and your playing, Marys voice is s’o beautiful, powerful, and meaningful. BRAVO to both of you for changing the world with your music, wisdom, and kindness. Composer Andres Martin
