JP Concerts presents Domenie, works by Astor Piazzolla, Claude Debussy, Richard Galliano, Leo Brouwer, Roberto Cassan and other contemporary composers, performed by classical guitarist John Muratore with accordionist/composer Roberto Cassan. Tickets are $10 at the door.
Highly-acclaimed classical guitarist John Muratore and internationally known accordionist/composer Roberto Cassan met in Montreal in 2005 while performing with Robert DeCormier and Counterpoint Chorale. The duo is known for their arrangements of classical and contemporary music which combine the intimacy of chamber music with the spontaneity of jazz. Their repertoire, which ranges from traditional European classical to contemporary American, Latin American and jazz-influenced compositions, displays the diversity of their musical interests and influences. John and Roberto have appeared at a variety of venues throughout the New England area, including the Tsai Performance Center, Jordan Hall, WGBH Radio’s Classical Performances, Chamberworks Concert Series at Dartmouth College and The Tony Williams Dance Center as featured musicians Williams’ Ephemera. In July 2009 the duo was featured at the 4th annual Main Squeeze Accordion Festival in NYC and were praised in a Lucid Culture review for their “fascinating, cutting-edge program”.
