JACKIE O by Michael Daugherty: Singer-Songwriter in New York

About JACKIE O by Michael Daugherty

JACKIE O by Michael Daugherty is presented at LPR (Le Poisson Rouge) as a concert work that places American pop imagery inside a contemporary classical frame. Daugherty, a composer and pianist, writes in a postmodern idiom that pulls from rock and pop surfaces alongside electroacoustic and musique concrète textures. The piece sits in the same creative lineage as his stage-ready titles like *Dead Elvis* and *Metropolis Symphony*. His approach favors collage and clear narrative cues over purely abstract experiment.
