Ellsworth Community Music Institute (ECMI) offers its next Midday Concert @ 1:00 on March 17th with Gulimina Mahamuti and George Lopez - the piano duo DUO MUNDI GEORGE & GULI.
The concert will be held at the Moore Community Center Theater at 125 State Street in Ellsworth, Maine. The series is sponsored by Ellsworth Community Music Institute (ECMI) with funding assistance from The City of Ellsworth. Admission is free to the public.
The concert program will include pieces by Sergei Rachmaninoff and George Gershwin.
Duo Mundi George & Guli have thrilled audiences around the world with their exciting, innovative, diverse, and intimate programming style. They have explored music for both one piano four hands and two piano four hands in the standard and contemporary repertoire as well as commissioned new works by national and international composers such as Ratko Delorko and Lucas Richman. Lauded as “…breathing the same artistic air…” with an adrenaline of communication that captivates audiences of every generation, Duo Mundi G & G create beautifully synchronized performances that engage both the eye and the ear in a dance of emotions.
Since their inception in 2018, Duo Mundi G & G have given standing room only performances of Bernstein’s Symphonic Dances from West Side Story for the centenary celebration of the composer’s birth and their two piano program “Immigration and Opportunity” with works by composers inspired by or writing in foreign lands. Recently they were invited to perform and give master classes throughout the US including venues in New York City, Kansas, Colorado, California, Texas, Florida, and Oklahoma. In addition to their 2022-2023 concert season, they have performed in Mexico and just this summer 2022 premiered their four-hand arrangement of Chinese composer Shi Fu’s Tajik Drum Dance at the 44th International European Piano Teachers Association Conference in Portugal. Their upcoming recording projects include Music of the Americas, music written for and/or inspired by children, and Rachmaninov’s works for two pianos and four hands for the 150th anniversary of his birth in 2023. They will give their NYC debut at Steinway Hall on April 1st after a week long tour of the southern United States including newly commissioned works.
The next concert in the 2022-2023 series will be held April 14 - FORTY-FIFTH PARALLEL - Chris Nemeth, violin; Laura Gallucci, viola; and Timothy Garrett, cello
