Arts Council Presents Quarteto Nuevo
Friday, March 7
7 PM
American Legion Post 26 (515 E 2nd S)
Mountain Home, ID — The Mountain Home Arts Council is proud to present World Fusion group Quarteto Nuevo on Friday, March 7, at the American Legion Post 26. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the program begins at 7 pm. Tickets are $10.00 for Adults, $8.00 Seniors/Military and $5.00 for Students, available at the door.
Quarteto Nuevo merges western classical, eastern European folk, Latin and jazz with an organic feel that packs a wallop! The ensemble’s razor-sharp precision is enhanced by jazzy interludes, lightly rumbling percussion motifs and mesmerizing rhythms. They effectively meld the music of ancient worlds and faraway places with a contemporary groove that enchants audiences of all ages! Winners of the Beverly Hills National Auditions, Quarteto’s master musicians create emotionally-charged soundscapes with instruments and sensibilities that represent very different world cultures. Their unique instrumentation – soprano saxophone/alto flute (Damon Zick), cello (Jacob Szekely), guitar (Kenton Youngstrom) and hand percussion (Felipe Fraga) – richly colors their wide-ranging repertoire, from Heitor Villa-Lobos’ “Bachianas Brasileiras” and Chick Corea’s “Children’s Song No. 6” to Traditional Macedonian “Gadjarsko” and original works “Hector, Desmond and Titus,” “Rain Song,” and “Dizer O Que.”
