This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.

Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling.

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Most certainly the only piano duo who both attended Harvard Law School, Weiser and Liston-Kraft bring a flair for the dramatic and a high-wire musical choreography that make their concerts a visual and sonic spectacle.
Join AmiciMusic for our wonderful holiday concert tradition! “FOUR-HAND HOLIDAY” is a fun program featuring jazzy arrangements of holiday classics like Sleigh Ride and Jingle Bells, Christmas Carols, plus virtuoso versions of the “Nutcracker Suite” by Tchaikovsky and the “Blue Danube Waltz” by Strauss. I will be joined by fellow pianist Daniel Lau in this fantastic program that will get you in the spirit of the holidays with a truly virtuosic ballet of twenty fingers on a single piano.
This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko.

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling.

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Most certainly the only piano duo who both attended Harvard Law School, Weiser and Liston-Kraft bring a flair for the dramatic and a high-wire musical choreography that make their concerts a visual and sonic spectacle.
Join AmiciMusic for our wonderful holiday concert tradition! “FOUR-HAND HOLIDAY” is a fun program featuring jazzy arrangements of holiday classics like Sleigh Ride and Jingle Bells, Christmas Carols, plus virtuoso versions of the “Nutcracker Suite” by Tchaikovsky and the “Blue Danube Waltz” by Strauss. I will be joined by fellow pianist Daniel Lau in this fantastic program that will get you in the spirit of the holidays with a truly virtuosic ballet of twenty fingers on a single piano.
This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko.

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling.

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Most certainly the only piano duo who both attended Harvard Law School, Weiser and Liston-Kraft bring a flair for the dramatic and a high-wire musical choreography that make their concerts a visual and sonic spectacle.
Join AmiciMusic for our wonderful holiday concert tradition! “FOUR-HAND HOLIDAY” is a fun program featuring jazzy arrangements of holiday classics like Sleigh Ride and Jingle Bells, Christmas Carols, plus virtuoso versions of the “Nutcracker Suite” by Tchaikovsky and the “Blue Danube Waltz” by Strauss. I will be joined by fellow pianist Daniel Lau in this fantastic program that will get you in the spirit of the holidays with a truly virtuosic ballet of twenty fingers on a single piano.
This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko.

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling.

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Most certainly the only piano duo who both attended Harvard Law School, Weiser and Liston-Kraft bring a flair for the dramatic and a high-wire musical choreography that make their concerts a visual and sonic spectacle.
Join AmiciMusic for our wonderful holiday concert tradition! “FOUR-HAND HOLIDAY” is a fun program featuring jazzy arrangements of holiday classics like Sleigh Ride and Jingle Bells, Christmas Carols, plus virtuoso versions of the “Nutcracker Suite” by Tchaikovsky and the “Blue Danube Waltz” by Strauss. I will be joined by fellow pianist Daniel Lau in this fantastic program that will get you in the spirit of the holidays with a truly virtuosic ballet of twenty fingers on a single piano.
This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko.

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling.

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Most certainly the only piano duo who both attended Harvard Law School, Weiser and Liston-Kraft bring a flair for the dramatic and a high-wire musical choreography that make their concerts a visual and sonic spectacle.
Join AmiciMusic for our wonderful holiday concert tradition! “FOUR-HAND HOLIDAY” is a fun program featuring jazzy arrangements of holiday classics like Sleigh Ride and Jingle Bells, Christmas Carols, plus virtuoso versions of the “Nutcracker Suite” by Tchaikovsky and the “Blue Danube Waltz” by Strauss. I will be joined by fellow pianist Daniel Lau in this fantastic program that will get you in the spirit of the holidays with a truly virtuosic ballet of twenty fingers on a single piano.
This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko.

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling.

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Most certainly the only piano duo who both attended Harvard Law School, Weiser and Liston-Kraft bring a flair for the dramatic and a high-wire musical choreography that make their concerts a visual and sonic spectacle.
Join AmiciMusic for our wonderful holiday concert tradition! “FOUR-HAND HOLIDAY” is a fun program featuring jazzy arrangements of holiday classics like Sleigh Ride and Jingle Bells, Christmas Carols, plus virtuoso versions of the “Nutcracker Suite” by Tchaikovsky and the “Blue Danube Waltz” by Strauss. I will be joined by fellow pianist Daniel Lau in this fantastic program that will get you in the spirit of the holidays with a truly virtuosic ballet of twenty fingers on a single piano.
This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko.

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling.

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Most certainly the only piano duo who both attended Harvard Law School, Weiser and Liston-Kraft bring a flair for the dramatic and a high-wire musical choreography that make their concerts a visual and sonic spectacle.
Join AmiciMusic for our wonderful holiday concert tradition! “FOUR-HAND HOLIDAY” is a fun program featuring jazzy arrangements of holiday classics like Sleigh Ride and Jingle Bells, Christmas Carols, plus virtuoso versions of the “Nutcracker Suite” by Tchaikovsky and the “Blue Danube Waltz” by Strauss. I will be joined by fellow pianist Daniel Lau in this fantastic program that will get you in the spirit of the holidays with a truly virtuosic ballet of twenty fingers on a single piano.
This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko.

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling.

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Most certainly the only piano duo who both attended Harvard Law School, Weiser and Liston-Kraft bring a flair for the dramatic and a high-wire musical choreography that make their concerts a visual and sonic spectacle.
Join AmiciMusic for our wonderful holiday concert tradition! “FOUR-HAND HOLIDAY” is a fun program featuring jazzy arrangements of holiday classics like Sleigh Ride and Jingle Bells, Christmas Carols, plus virtuoso versions of the “Nutcracker Suite” by Tchaikovsky and the “Blue Danube Waltz” by Strauss. I will be joined by fellow pianist Daniel Lau in this fantastic program that will get you in the spirit of the holidays with a truly virtuosic ballet of twenty fingers on a single piano.
This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko.

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling.

Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.
Check out the “Ragtime” movement from the fun Bolling Suite:
Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:

This will be another incredibly fun program of fantastic crossover music uniting the worlds of Classical and Jazz. Flutist Lea Kibler will join bassist Daniel Iannucci, percussionist Justin Watt, and pianist Daniel Weiser to perform the entire phenomenal Second Suite for Flute and Jazz Piano Trio by the wonderful French jazz pianist and composer, Claude Bolling. Bolling was one of the first to experiment in the fusion of these two musical idioms and produced a string of great crossover albums with Jean-Pierre Rampal, Yo-Yo Ma, Pinchas Zuckerman, and more in the 1970’s and 1980’s. His music is still fresh and innovative today—true chamber music, but with a jazz flair! Lea and Daniel will also perform some wonderful jazzy pieces by a Ukranian composer named Taras Yachshenko. You won’t want to miss this show.

Join us for another thrilling crossover program exploring the connections between classical and jazz music through the works of Claude Bolling. This program features his amazing Suite for Violin and Jazz Trio that was originally written for Pinchas Zukerman. My great friend and colleague, Tim Schwarz, will come from Philadelphia as our guest violinist and team up with the wonderful Asheville-based combo of Craig Sandberg on bass, and Justin Watt on percussion. We will also perform a new work written expressly for Tim Schwarz by composer Denis DiBlasio entitled “Australian Sketches” for the same combo as the Bolling Suite.

Join us for another special program to help celebrate Black History Month. This concert highlights the important influence of African-American Spirituals in classical chamber music. We will perform works by Harry Burleigh and Clarence Cameron White, who were both excellent violinists and among the first to arrange Spirituals for string instruments. Both men studied at the National Conservatory of Music, our first American Conservatory, which was directed by Antonin Dvorak. The great Czech composer used these soulful tunes in his “New World Symphony” and also in a Violin Sonata that we will perform. We will also perform fantastic works by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, William Grant Still, and Margaret Bonds. This is music filled with the pain and anguish of an oppressed people, but also powerful melodies, inspirational themes, and an exciting rhythmic drive. The wonderful Borowsky siblings—Emmanuel on violin and Frances on cello—are back to perform these sadly neglected, but very soulful works of music.
To get a flavor for this powerful and expressive music, please watch the beginning of this incredibly soulful arrangement of “Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child” by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor by clicking on the link below:
