Spanish and Latin American Guitar Duo Concert at Farmstead Arts

The Newman &Oltman Guitar Duo will  perform an Afternoon of  Spanish and Latin American Music by Piazzolla, Rodriguez, Brouwer, Lennon/McCartney, Ponce, Machado, Jobim, and Albeniz at Farmstead Arts on Sunday, March 11 at 2 PM.  This is a rare opportunity to hear this award winning duo in an intimate, chamber music setting.  Only 35 tickets will be sold, so reserve your seats early at http://farmsteadguitarduo.eventbrite.com/.  

Called a "revelation to hear" by The Washington Post, the Duo,  comprised of Michael Newman and Laura Oltman,  have delighted audiences on five continents for over 30 years. Artistic Directors of both the Raritan River Music Festival and New York Guitar Seminar at Mannes, they serve on the faculty and are ensemble-in-residence at Mannes College of Music, and are recipients of numerous honors, including awards from the National Endowment for the Arts and Chamber Music America.  Innovators in chamber music, Newman & Oltman have collaborated with such diverse artists as author Frank McCourt, Irish fiddler Eileen Ivers, composer Osvaldo Golijov and mezzo-soprano Frederica von Stade, among others.  The duo has recorded twelve critically-acclaimed albums and taken the lead on developing a new repertoire for the ensemble.

Tickets are $20 or $10 for seniors and students, and  can be purchased at http://farmsteadguitarduo.eventbrite.com, at the Farmstead during gallery hours, or on the day of the concert based on availability.
