New York Mandolin Ensemble with Barry Mitterhoff/ L'Esperance Mandolin Ensemble
L' Esperance Mandolin Ensemble and the New York Mandolin Ensemble will join forces for a spectacular program featuring New England's and New York's premiere mandolin ensembles.The New York Mandolin Ensemble, featuring Barry Mitterhoff, Steve Antonelli, and Wayne Fugate, is an eclectic 8-member group of experienced New York-based musicians who seek to expand the traditional boundaries of mandolin music through their original compositions and carefully chosen arrangements of works in the classical, jazz, downtown and traditional/ethnic genres.Barry Mitterhoff is a mandolinist who cannot be pigeonholed into one style. He performs a dazzling array of styles that include bluegrass, classical, swing and jazz, and a variety of ethnic styles such as Brazilian, Klezmer and more. He has recorded and played withTom Chapin, Tony Trischka and others and is now an acclaimed sideman to Jorma Kaukonen and Hot Tuna.
L'Esperance features almost 30 musicians of different backgrounds and ages from the Cape Cod area, Rhode Island and Connecticut, who come together to enjoy the pleasure of making music with each other. Since 1994, L'Esperance has been sharing that joy with audiences around NewEngland. Their music ranges from classical to contemporary, from Celtic to Klezmer, from rock standards to Baroque. Director of L'Esperance MandolinEnsemble, Joshua Bell, was named the Concertmaster of the Providence Mandolin Orchestra in 1979. He has played with the North American Mandolin Ensemble, The American Mandolin and Guitar Orchestra, the Classical Mandolin Society of America and The Tacoma Mandoleers of Washington, D.C.
This will be a special concert using the natural acoustics of the Lily Pads space.
