What a Song and Dance - Evening Concert

The Laurus Freestyle Duo of
Madrid, Spain, will be traveling to Greenwich to give two concerts at Christ
Church Greenwich on March 22nd. As a donor is covering the expenses,
all the proceeds from the ticket sales will benefit Outreach programs supported
by the church such as Neighbor to Neighbor, Abilis, Kids in Crisis, Inspirica,
Food Bank of Lower Fairfield County, YWCA Domestic Abuse and Greenwich World
Hunger.

 The duo will take everybody on an eclectic musical journey: The evening concert covers some of the intimate musical gems of Dvorak, Grieg and Elgar, followed by three of Kreisler’s irresistible waltzes and the gorgeous, passionate compositions of Piazzolla and Villalobos, finishing with their take on the lovely, whimsical folk music of the British Isles and the United States. A reception to meet the artists afterwards in the Tomes-Higgins House follows the concert.

The Laurus Freestyle Duo
brings together two musicians with long, varied and in some ways contrasting
musical careers; Jennifer Clift (violin) and Cy Williams (guitar) have each
played in countless ensembles and formations, from solo performance to small
chamber groups to full orchestras, in styles ranging from improvised music and
jazz to works of the great composers, classical and contemporary, as well as
the interpretation of their own music. Jenny is currently Concertmaster of the
Madrid Metropolitan Orchestra, and Cy is a member of the Cova Villegas Quintet
in Madrid.
