2012-2013 Program
7:30 PM
Duo Sonidos: Adam Levin, guitar, William Knuth, violin
Duo Sonidos is a bid to amalgamate the capabilities of two classically ambassadorial instruments basic to the fabric of contemporary and classical music alike and to encourage and imprint an aural image of this chamber combination in the musical ear of the listener.
There is something new here and something attractive and approachable to the cross over classical music audience that may not otherwise be interested in classical performances. The mission of this duo is nothing short of building a standard and expansive repertoire for violin and guitar duos.
In November 2010 Duo Sonidos released their debut album Duo Sonidos and subsequently, were awarded 1st Prize at the 2010 Luys Milan International Chamber Music Competition in Valencia, Spain. Levin and Knuth have performed throughout the United States and Europe and have been honored as US Fulbright Scholars in the field of music performance in Madrid, Spain and Vienna, Austria respectively.
The evening performance features compositions by Bach, Handel, Corelli, Kreisler, de Falla, Turina and Beaser.
WQLN presents Duo Sonidos in a live lobby performance on the day of the performance beginning at 1:00 PMWatch this video preview from a recent performance in Madrid, Spain.
