Join us at the Center for the Arts as we premier a two-night micro festival celebrating new guitar music!
The November 4 concert features the revival of Peter Blanchette’s critically-acclaimed European chamber jazz project, "Had Miles Met Maurice," with two Brooklyn-based, Tanglewood-alums, trumpeter/sound designer Josh Frank and bassist Shawn Conley. Sharing the bill is "Duo Orfeo," with guitarists Joseph Ricker and Jamie Balmer performing electric guitar arrangements of works by the minimalist masters Arvo Pärt and Valentin Silvestrov.
The November 5 concert features "The Juanito Pascual Trio" presenting an extraordinary evening of new flamenco music and dance with Juanito Pascual, violinist Rohan Gregory, and Flamenco dancer and singer Barbara Martinez.
Blanchette on NanoFest: Guitar, “NanoFest celebrates our culture’s short attention span with brief performances of eclectic, creative, music-making. I am bringing back the idea of variety to audiences. Think of it as musical tapas!”
Tickets for each concert are $15 or $25 for both nights. Advance tickets are available online at Brown Paper Tickets Remaining tickets will be sold at the door beginning 90 minutes in advance of the performances. Please note that door sales are cash or check only.

It's TWO nights of fantastic guitar music!
Friday come hear local favorites Duo Orfeo beautifully playing minimalist composers on electric guitars, along with me and an awesome trio from NYC. Here's a sample with the trio www.archguitar.com/doowwwnnnnlllloooaads/singles/hm/08 Had Miles Met Maurice.mp3
On Saturday, hold onto your hats for Juanito Pascual- a world class flamenco player! He is bringing a violinist and a wonderful singer/dancer from NYC. Neither night to be missed. :)
