Tracy Silverman burst on the international scene as first violinist with the Turtle Island String Quartet. His groundbreaking work with the 6-string electric violin inspired Pulitzer winning composer John Adams to write a major electric violin concerto specifically for him. Soaring melodies layered over live looping, featuring world, jazz, and classical influences, creates a captivating performance.
Tracy will also be holding an outreach program with students at the Fairmont High School that morning.
Frank Vignola's Hot Club
Friday, March 11, 2011
Frank has a very special way of connecting with the audience. As the audience arrives, Frank and the band pass out 3x5 cards to them and ask them to write down requests during the first set. During intermission, they talk to folks and collect the cards. During the second set they read off the cards, have a dialog with people in the audience, and then play their requests. They do everything, from Bach to Glenn Miller, to Smoke on the Water. He is often hilarious, always engaging and entertaining. One of the world's most highly sought after acoustic guitarists, Frank Vignola has amply demonstrated his mastery of every genre, from fusion and commercial pop-jazz to hard bop, post-bop, swing, rock, and blues. He has been cited by jazz guitar legend Les Paul as one of the top five guitarists of all time
