The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library is proud to present its 23rd anniversary season of the Barbara and William Karatz Chamber Concert Series. Enjoy chamber music as it was intended—in a warm, intimate setting, where you are treated as a guest in our historic home. All concerts are followed by a private reception with the artists.
The series opens on Sunday, October 7, 2012, at 7:30 p.m. with guitarist Odair Assad. For more than forty years, Brazilian guitarist Odair Assad has been concertizing worldwide with his brother Sergio, forming an exceptional guitar duo. Odair has now finally made a solo recording—in the spring of 2010, Odair’s first recording El Caminante was released on the GHA label—and decided to play this and other material live on stage. Reviewer Colin Cooper has said “Odair Assad reveals himself to be a soloist of awesome talents” and “Assad has one of the most fluent left hands (he has) seen in a guitarist: seemingly attached to the fingerboard, it performs its function without obvious effort and to the maximum musical effect.”
