Newman & Oltman Premiere Brouwer’s New Work

Newman & Oltman Premiere Brouwer’s New Work

by 

Here’s another one for your Classic Ross Amico pin-up collection:

At WWFM – The Classical Network with Michael Newman and Laura Oltman, of the Newman and Oltman Guitar Duo.

Newman and Oltman dropped by the WWFM studios on Monday to share conversation and music, including a generous live performance – the world broadcast premiere, as a matter of fact – of two movements from Leo Brouwer’s “The Book of Imaginary Beings.” This was music written expressly for them by arguably Cuba’s foremost living composer.

Newman and Oltman will perform the complete work for the first time in concert this weekend, on the final program of this year’s Raritan River Music Festival. The concert will take place on Saturday at 7:30 p.m., at Stanton Reformed Church, in Stanton, NJ. For details, look online at raritanrivermusic.org.

Newman and Oltman will then take the piece to New York City for a second performance, at the New York Guitar Seminar, with the composer in attendance, on June 26. You’ll find more information by following the link at N & O’s website, guitarduo.com.
