Both of them were Prize-winners from the "Ecole Normale de musique de Paris"and the Paris National Conservatory of Music in Alberto Ponce 's class. Both of them have received 1st Prizes at the prestigious International Guitar Foundation of America Competition, which was followed by a 50 concert international tour.

These two musicians met in Paris, where they decided to form a duet. Their repertoire goes from Baroque to contemporary music with a special interest for French music.
We welcome them back for the 3rd visit to Utah.

Fabio Zanon
Concert: Friday, March 12, 2010 at 8pm - Salt Lake City Recital Hall
Master Class: Saturday, March 13, 2009 at 6:30 - 1121 East 200 South
Players $35, observers $15

Fabio Zanon's investigative and learned approach has opened up many possibilities for the guitar repertoire, both as a solo and as a chamber instrument. In the past few years every season has seen him première solo and orchestral contemporary works (most recently Faria's Guitar Concerto no.2, Jan van der Roost's Concierto de Homenaje and Stephen Kenyon´s Guitar Concerto no.1), unearth forgotten masterpieces from the past as well as perform the standards of the repertoire for new audiences.

Recent activity in the studio include his benchmark transcriptions of Scarlatti, the 12 Studies by Francisco Mignone along with Camargo Guarnieri´s guitar works, Van der Roost´s Concerto with I Fiamminghi Chamber orchestra and the soundtracks written by Luís Bacalov for films like Les Enfants du Siècle and Woman on Top. He has also played chamber music in some unusual combinations, most frequently with the collaboration of flautist Marcelo Barboza, with whom he has recorded two CDs, and cellist Antonio Meneses (from the Trio Beaux Arts).

We are generously supported by a grant from the Utah Arts Council, in cooperation with the National Endowment for the Arts in Washington, D.C. and many other kind people. If you get the chance- thank a legislator!

Thank you!

We look forward to seeing you at the concerts!

Sincerely,

Roy Johnson
President
