Please select your favorite program:
- "Aria"-
the Duo's newest program being introduced for the first time this
season, it features world-premiere Opera Aria arrangements of
Mozart, Bellini, Wagner and Massenet, with highlights like Gershwin's
"Summertime", Bizet's "Habanera", and Puccini's
"O Mio Babbino Caro". The "Variations on a Theme from
Mozart's Magic Flute" (for guitar solo) is a technical show
stopper and a set of 20th century American Arias closes this unforgettable
program.
- "In
the Blue Hour"- This is the Duo's ode to 'pure Romance', offered
as a regular concert and especially for their Valentine Tour in
February. It is an evening of love songs, including classical
works by Mozart, Brahms, Fauré and Schubert (who wrote many of
his original works for guitar when he couldn't afford a piano!).
The program highlights greatest hits such as Schubert's "Ave
Maria", the spell binding "Bachianas Brasilieras" by
Villa-Lobos and the seductive Rachmaninov "Vocalise".
- "The
Water is Wide"- This program makes a very popular and successful
'event' for diverse audiences of all ages and tastes in music.
The evening is a collection of great melodies from around the
world, with American folk songs like "Tis a gift to be simple",
colorful and bawdy folk songs from England and Spain and exotic
melodies of Haiti and Puerto Rico. Two fiery Brazilian guitar
solos open the second part of the program and are tremendous crowd
pleasers, and the evening closes with highlights from American
Cinema and Musical Theater, with unforgettable songs from Casablanca,
Evita and The Phantom of the Opera. (Janet starred
for two years in Andrew-Lloyd Webber's production in Vienna.)
- "Love
Songs and Lullabies" - The classical
lullabies of Strauss, Brahms and Gounod are offered up alongside
sweet serenades from Spain in new arrangements for voice and guitar.
Many premiere works appear on the concert, including an African-Cuban
lullaby for solo guitar, and exotic songs of living composers
Dusan Bogdanovic and Morten Lauridson.
- "Music
for Awhile"- This is an all-Baroque program featuring some
of the most ecstatic and intimate works of Bach, Purcell, and
Dowland. Special highlights of this program include the beautiful
Bach Ave Maria, and Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (transcribed
for solo guitar), Purcell's famous aria Dido's Lament,
and a set of charming and humorous love songs by the great Italian
Baroque composers, Pergolesi and Scarlatti.
