Avi Avital, mandolin
MILOS, guitar
BACH Italian Concerto in F major, BWV 971
SCHUBERT Selected song transcriptions
VILLA-LOBOS Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5
Philip GLASS Metamorphosis No. IV
GLASS Etude No. 9
A dream pairing of two of the classical music world's most dynamic recitalists! The "explosively charismatic" (The New York Times) Israeli mandolin player Avi Avital was the first soloist on his instrument to be nominated for a classical Grammy Award; the Montenegrin phenomenon Milos Karadaglic has been called "one of the most exciting and communicative classical guitarists today" (The New York Times).
Both artists have revitalized the repertoire performed on their instruments, attracting a new generation of listeners through inventive programs and sheer instrumental prowess. Together in Berkeley for the first time as a duo, Avital and Karadaglic perform a kaleidoscopic program of arrangements and transcriptions for strummed and plucked strings, from a propulsive Bach keyboard work to a set of intimate instrumental transcriptions of Schubert songs, to the beloved fifth section from Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasileiras. The duo also tackles two sparkling Philip Glass piano compositions, and a new work to be announced.
