Stephen Drury, Gabriela Díaz, and Ben Schwartz of the Callithumpian Consort play the outrageous and visionary Trio of Charles Ives and the wonderfully nostalgic 2nd Violin Sonata. Rane Moore will join them for Ives’ Largo.
Grand Fatilla is made up of electric mandolinist Matt Glover, accordionist Roberto Cassan, bassist Mike Rivard (Club d’Elf) & percussionist and singer Fabio Pirozzolo. Together they explore their mutual love for folk music from all over the world, especially the styles born out of the gypsy diaspora, delighting audiences with their passionate take on Modern Global Music. Like an iPod on shuffle the group jumps from Argentine Tangos to Italian Tarantellas… from Turkish sacred Sufi songs to Irish reels, Moroccan trance to Bulgarian dance music, all performed with an emphasis on improvisational group interplay and playful spontaneity.
