DAVID GRISMAN QUINTET TO PLAY UNIVERSITY THEATRE MISSOULA-- The man called “Dawg” will bring his unique blend of acoustic sounds to Missoula for a September concert. The David Grisman Quintet will perform at 8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 4, in the University Theatre. Tickets are $21 in advance or $23 the day of the show. They are on sale now at all Tic-It-E-Z outlets or by calling (888) MONTANA or 243-4051 in Missoula. Grisman, whose unusual nickname was given him by old friend and late Grateful Dead front man Jerry Garcia, has earned a reputation as a virtuoso mandolinist. Once dubbed “The Paganini of the Mandolin” by The New York Times, Grisman has long impressed critics with his instrumental skill and his talents as a composer and producer. He has had a profound impact on a new generation of musicians. “Dawg music” calls upon influences as diverse as bluegrass, swing, blues, jazz, Latin and gypsy. The quintet, originally formed in 1975, now includes Sam Bevan on bass, Joe Craven on acoustic percussion and violin, Enrique Coria on guitar and Matt Eakle on flute. Since his first recording in 1963 with the Even Dozen Jug Band, Grisman has performed on dozens of albums with musicians like Bonnie Raitt, Linda Ronstadt, Bela Fleck -more- Grisman.rl-2 and Chris Isaak.

  • Mandolin “God” Joins with Orchestra to Re-Invent Vivaldi
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 4, 2018 CONTACT: Rebecca Bailey, Publicity Coordinator/Writer Hopkins Center for the Arts, Dartmouth College [email protected] 603.646.3991 Mandolin “god” joins with orchestra to re-invent Vivaldi HANOVER, NH—Carlo Aonzo, who travels the world as a renowned mandolin virtuoso, teacher and scholar, joins the Dartmouth Symphony Orchestra on Friday, February 9, for a concert that reinvents Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. The concert takes place at 8 pm in Spaulding Auditorium of the Hopkins Center for the Arts at Dartmouth College. Aonzo (“real, virtuoso mandolin playing, to compete with the like of any instrument”–Mandolin Café) will spend the week before the concert at Dartmouth doing class visits and tutorials, and also will give a free mini- concert and lecture on his instrument on Tuesday, February 6, at 5 pm in the Top of the Hop. Mandolin players are invited to bring their instruments and stay after for a short jam session with Aonzo. The best-known work of Vivaldi (1678-1741), Four Seasons was originally written for solo violin plus chamber orchestra. Aonzo plays the entire violin part on mandolin, executing on that plucked instrument the rapid passages that spin far more easily off a violin bow—a feat only one of the world’s greatest mandolin virtuosos could manage, said DSO Conductor Filippo Ciabatti. While few attempt this instrumentation for Four Seasons, it’s “in line with Baroque performance practices,” Ciabatti said: Vivaldi himself was a mandolinist, and musicians of his era felt free to play works on instruments other than the ones they were written for.
