Performing fiery Spanish guitar pieces like “Malaguena” to the gorgeous vocal harmonies of “Sounds of Silence,” this duo takes the art of guitars to another dimension with their new animated painting concert experience. A colorful backdrop of lush, vibrant painted landscapes based on the guitar theme flows through the concert. Moving in 3D, guitar birds fly through guitar mountains and over guitar rivers, cities, and oceans. The paintings come alive with music in this unforgettable surround art experience.
A gallery exhibit of related artwork will be displayed in conjunction with this performance from Monday, April 19, 2021, through Thursday, April 22, 2021, in Bisignano Art Gallery.
