Emerging from an amalgam of styles, Canto Latino draws from a wealth of artistic experience in a unique combination of renowned performers from the Blue Mountains. While all four artists have very distinctive styles with well-established reputations, they each share a desire to create a renovation of the Latin music genre which ventures into new territory – beyond their respective fields of specialisation. Canto Latinobrings the expertise of Amanda Handel in tango, flamenco & Art music, Jane Andino in Latin & South American music, Gary Daley in jazz & contemporary and Matt Handel in jazz, funk & soul.
For the third ‘Bach in the Dark’ concert, Rachel is joined by percussionist and composer, Ben Sibson. Ben plays a number of drums from around the world and also vibraphone. (If you’ve never heard cello and vibraphone before you are in for a special treat!) The program will include some renaissance dances and Bach’s third suite for solo cello playing with percussion added, returning Bach’s dances to possibly their original forms. Your toes will be tapping – guaranteed! It’ll be a night with a difference…
For the fourth and final program in the 2019 series, Rachel is joined by former teacher and dear friend (and cello great!), David Pereira. If you’ve been a concert with David and Rachel before you’ll know that you’re in for a night of great musical conversation! A critic said that Rachel and David’s playing “has the feel of a celebration, of untempered, free and loose-limbed music-making, where lines are shaped by boldness…”
The program will include works by J.S. Bach, a piece written especially for the concerts by David Pereira, some duos by Béla Bartók and some musical surprises!
