A Bach twofer from Kindred Spirits; Grey Towers and Hawley Silk Mill Concerts

Posted

MILFORD and HAWLEY, PA — Two duos will connect Bach and South America this weekend in Northeast Pennsylvania. On Saturday, July 9, mandolin masters Caterina Lichtenberg and Mike Marshall will perform an outdoor concert, “From Bach to Brazil,” at Grey Towers National Historical Site in Milford at 5:30 p.m. On Sunday, July 10, flutist Allison Kiger and guitarist Jordan Dodson will perform a concert, “From Bach to Tango,” at a second historic site, the Hawley Silk Mill in Hawley at 4:30 p.m. Both are produced by Kindred Spirits Arts Programs; this will be the first time that Kindred Spirits will have presented two performers in one weekend.

As two of the world’s foremost mandolin players, Lichtenberg and Marshall frequently collaborate despite the fact that she lives in Germany and he in California. Together these mandolin masters have made two recordings, one that blurs the lines between classical, jazz, bluegrass and Brazil, and another featuring Johann Sebastian Bach’s duets. Their “From Bach to Brazil” program features work by Bach, Vivaldi, and Zequinho de Abreau.

Two years ago Kiger performed to a standing-room-only crowd at the Hotel Fauchere, and more recently she presented a rare concert with longtime radio announcer Bob Sherman at the Milford Theatre. Now she returns to Milford with guitarist Dodson. Their “Bach to Tango” program includes Bach’s Partita in A minor, the Haydn Serenade, Astor Piazzolla’s “History of the Tango,” and some contemporary music.

Tickets cost $20 for adults; students under 15 will be admitted free. They can be purchased in advance at Books and Prints at Pear Alley (220 Broad St.), or at www.kindredspiritsarts.org.
