presents The Strung Out Trio


Published/Last Modified on Thursday, January 8, 2009 3:26 PM MST


For the Love of Music begins the year with concerts on Saturday, January 10 and Sunday, January 11 by The Strung Out Trio. The group is made up of guitarist Matt Gould, violinist Beth Ilana Schneider-Gould and pianist Nathanial May. 


The Goulds are well-known around the world as Duo46, having performed from Chile to Turkey and many places in-between.  Mr. May is the founder of  The Cortona Contemporary Music Festival in Tuscany, Italy.  Their performances have been called “fiery”, “virtuosic and flamboyant”, “beautiful”.

The Saturday, January 10 concert will be held at 8 pm; the Sunday, January 11 concert will be at 3pm.  Both will be at the Bisbee Woman’s Club, located at 7 Ledge Ave., Quality Hill, Old Bisbee.

Tickets will be available at the door — $10 for adults.  Students through high school will be admitted free.  For further information please call Katherine Hagstrum at 520 432 7217.

The three musicians met while teaching at the Eastern Mediterranean University on Cyprus in 2002, where they have created an annual visiting composer series to introduce Middle Eastern audiences to Western music.   Since that time they have commissioned over a dozen compositions, and established a new music festival called “soundSCAPE” in Pavia, Italy.  In Bisbee they will perform works by Felix Mendelssohn and Astor Piazzola, as well as a work composed for them called “Falling on Lobsters in the Dark” and selections from “Aires de Sefarad”, a group of 46 Spanish songs for violin and guitar.  The recording of this compositions was called “one of the most gorgeous releases of the year” by the Cincinnati Enquirer.
