The Arpeggione Duo
Guitar & Cello
Experience the magical sound of The Arpeggione Duo! Comprised of Thomas Schonberg on Cello and Chris Kachian on Guitar, this exceptional duo creates a fresh and unparalleled sound by blending two classical instruments. Don't miss out!
Their program this year begins in Spain and Portugal, where guitar music gets its historical root and concentrates on the music of Latino cultures; they focus on performing eloquent and moving concert interpretations of folk music from around the globe.
The Arpeggione Duo's conviction is to blend art music with "people's music" and to synchronize it allTheir Portuguese works are adaptations of Fados, a distinctive Portuguese musical genre for solo vocal, guitar, and Portuguese guitar. At the same time, the Spanish selections clearly show their unique flamenco roots.
Lamma Bada Yatathanna, a piece with Arabic and Andalusian roots, is one of the season's central pieces. An arrangement of this song by Jordanian composer Salam Murtada will be presented.
