SoloDuo

As SoloDuo, Matteo Mela and Lorenzo Micheli have performed throughout Europe, Asia, the USA, Canada and Latin America, and have been acclaimed everywhere – from New York’s Carnegie Hall to Seoul’s Sejong Chamber Hall, from Kiev’s Hall of Columns to Vienna’s Konzerthaus – as one of the best ensembles ever heard. About one of their performances, “The Washington Post” wrote: “the duo’s playing was nothing less than rapturous – profound and unforgettable musicianship of the highest order.”

CANCELLED: Pavel Steidl

Clarke Recital Hall, University of Miami 5501 San Amaro Drive, Coral Gables, FL, United States

This event has been cancelled and replaced with a concert with Meng Su. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Meng Su

Clarke Recital Hall, University of Miami 5501 San Amaro Drive, Coral Gables, FL, United States

“Here we have a guitarist who knew how to laugh with the music and share the joke with his audience. But behind the entertainer lies a serious artist, whose extended composition in memory of Jana Obrovska proved fully capable of stirring emotions at the other end of the scale. Never was a standing ovation more richly deserved. Pavel Steidl had won the hearts and minds of a capacity crowd.” - Classical Guitar Magazine

Aniello Desiderio

Clarke Recital Hall, University of Miami 5501 San Amaro Drive, Coral Gables, FL, United States

"...the kind of musician that seems to have disappeared long ago, Aniello Desiderio sweeps away the audience with enthusiasm—as the great virtuosi, Paganini, Regondi or Giuliani of the 19th century did—racing through breath-taking changes of register, acrobatic arpeggios and scales of extraordinary brilliance and elegance like a Ferrari." - Stuttgarter Zeitung

Patterson/Sutton Duo

Clarke Recital Hall, University of Miami 5501 San Amaro Drive, Coral Gables, FL, United States

"Both of these musicians played with a great deal of excitement and spirit, and their sense of ensemble was well-nigh perfect. It was absolutely gorgeous playing. They played so very well together, their dynamics and phrasing were so good… the musical world needs performers such as these two." — Opus Colorado
