Indianapolis Early Music will bring to Indianapolis a young husband and wife duo for a special Spring Concert, as a prelude to the Indianapolis Early Music Festival, which takes place in June and July. Duo Amaral, two talented guitarists playing on twelve strings and four gifted hands, will perform at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick History Center on Friday evening April 13 at 7:30. Mia Pomerantz- Amaral and Jorge Amaral came together from opposite sides of the world to share their artistry and musicianship. Winner of several International Guitar Competitions, Mia began her early musical education at the Rubin Academy of Music in Jerusalem before her studies in the U.S. The Italian newspaper Messaggero Veneto described her playing as “a powerful and beautiful, rich in harmony and with a sure, clean technique.” Mia serves as a faculty member at the Levine School of Music in Washington, DC as well as the International School of Music in Bethesda, Maryland. Jorge, a native of Guadalajara Mexico, is considered as one of the most exceptional Mexican players of his generation. He is a faculty member at the Baldwin Wallace Conservatory in Ohio. After receiving their master’s degrees at the Peabody Conservatory of Music of Johns Hopkins University, they have performed at Festivals in Europe, South America, and the U.S. The April 13 concert will have festival seating.
