A cellist, guitarist, teacher, and award winning composer, Stephen Katz premiered his cello compositions at Carnegie Recital Hall and performs frequently with the Paul Winter Consort. He is a pioneer in the art of counterpoint strumming techniques for the cello and has developed a repertoire of compositions that incorporate melody and accompaniment into highly rhythmic, uniquely idiomatic cello solos. If you’ve never heard Stephen’s music, then you are in for an amazing treat. Far beyond what you might think of as cello music, it breaches the ethereal and moves into deep mystical experience.
Baritone David
Farwig has
performed as a soloist and chorister
for professional companies throughout the United States, include the U.S.
Air Force Singing Sergeants, one of the premier military choral ensembles.
Tonight, along with the Intermezzo Chamber Players, David will perform
a composition by CSO violinist and composer David Waldman. Waldman's works
have been premiered by the Colorado Symphony, Up Close and Musical, the Colorado
Chamber Players, and the International Horn Conference. David and the Players
will also perform Samuel Barber’s
Dover Beach for baritone and string quartet, Op.3.
Boulder, Colorado-based Sherefe — named
after the Turkish drinking toast, “to your honor” — is a group
of American musicians who perform traditional music from the
Balkans and the Middle East in native languages and on
authentic instruments. With a specialization tonight in Greek and Turkish
music, this evening’s concert is sure to please.
