Two of the greatest living mandolinists perform together in this not-to-be-missed intimate concert.
Mike Marshall made his Carnegie Hall debut at the age of 20 with jazz violin legend Stephane Grappelli as a member of the David Grisman Quintet. In 1985 he would perform in that famed hall with his own classical ensemble The Modern Mandolin Quartet in 1985.
Nominated for three Grammy Awards, Mike has been at the forefront of New Acoustic music for over 40 years having been the founding member of many groups including the Montreux Band, Psychograss, Choro Famoso and The Anger Marshall Band. He is indeed a living compendium of musical styles and has the ability to seamlessly blend his American roots background with a deep understanding of European classical music, Brazilian choro and other world music. A multi-instrumentalist, Mike is a fluid Jazz improviser and a master on mandolin, guitar, mandocello and violin.
Joining him in concert is German mandolin virtuoso Caterina Lichtenberg, who holds the position of mandolin professor at the Cologne Music Conservatory. Caterina Lichtenberg is considered one of the greatest living classical mandolinists. She and Mike have recorded a wonderfully eclectic collection that spans J.S. Bach, Leclair, Brazilian choro, Rafaelle Calace, Venezuelan dance forms and some of Mike’s original compositions.The two have released two cds on the Adventure Music label and have performed at the Carmel Bach Festival, The Savannah Music Festival, the Bach Haus Liepzig, Germany and the RockygrassBluegrass Festival in Colorado and have been soloists with the New Century Orchestra under Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg, and Orchester l’arte del mondo from Cologne, Germany.
