Munich’s Arcis Saxophone Quartet comes to Bandon’s Sprague Community Theater March 21– the final act in a dynamic 2019/2020 season from Bandon Showcase.

Expect an energetic and unforgettable performance. This award-winning quartet takes a fresh approach to chamber music, with expertly arranged repertoire. Members are Claus Hierluksch, soprano saxophone; Ricarda Fuss, alto saxophone; Edoardo Zotti, tenor saxophone; and Jure Knez, baritone saxophone.

At the Sprague Community Theater, Arcis will present “American Dreams,” a journey through a broad musical exhibition of the American way of life. The program features works by celebrated composers Steve Reich, Antonin Dvořák, Leonard Bernstein, Samuel Barber and George Gershwin.

Pianist Ian Scarfe and cellist Charles Akert will present a program entitled “Shifting Balance,” an afternoon of music and storytelling, featuring works for cello and piano by Beethoven, Schumann, Rachmaninoff and Chopin.

Admission is by donation at the door. Pay what you can– all are welcome.

Listeners will hear the shifting balance between the instruments, as Scarfe and Akert showcase a variety of classical, romantic, and contemporary examples of duos written for two virtuoso performers. With each composer, and each era, different musical ideals are highlighted: the explosive energy and rapid-fire piano writing of the young Beethoven, the lyrical melodies of Frederic Chopin, the lush harmonic world and famous Russian cello sound of Sergei Rachmaninoff, and the rustic folk song influence in Robert Schumann.

Other surprises are in store as well, as audiences can expect a “behind the scenes” experience with Scarfe and Akert. Both performers will be sharing stories that illuminate the history of the composers, the context of their music, and specific examples that serve as a listening guide for the performance.

Scarfe and Akert have performed together since 2007, and have a long history of concerts across the United States, Canada, and Europe.

Ian’s original musical compositions bring to life specific places and stories from his home. He’ll perform music familiar to the Hawaiian Islands with many pieces reflecting the sounds of the islands. Say “aloha” to your worries for an evening.

This concert is presented by Bandon Showcase. Admission is $25 per person.

Tickets are available for purchase in person at Bandon Mercantile Co. in Old Town Bandon. To request tickets by phone, visit bandonshowcase.org. Scroll down to view online tickets for this event.
