Blackstar Symphony

‘Blackstar’ was David Bowie’s final album, released two days after his death. Blackstar Symphony director Donny McCaslin played on the album — winding his funereal, honking sax all over the emotional map on the title track. McCaslin’s reimagining of Bowie’s darkly romantic masterpiece features guest artist John Cameron Mitchell, creator and star of ‘Hedwig and the Angry Inch.’ Blackstar is followed by orchestral renditions of Bowie classics including “Heroes” and “Life on Mars”.
