Pavan / Park Slope Chamber Players - New Music [CD]

Carlos Pavan writes music that is immediately accessible; these are not at all pedantic modern works. The program includes works for flute/guitar; clarinet/guitar duo; guitar & chamber ensemble; flute/guitar, and guitar duo. Argentine born/Brooklyn (Park Slope) based concert guitarist & composer Carlos Pavan arrived to New York in 2000 to pursue musical studies with maestros Jorge Morel (classical guitar/composition), Dave Smey (Brooklyn Conservatory) and Pablo Ziegler (Astor Piazzolla's pianist). Since then, he's performed at well-renowned venues such as Lincoln Center, New York City Center, New England Conservatory Jordan Hall (Boston), Brooklyn Borough Hall, Merkin Hall at Kaufman Center, Philadelphia Museum, Connecticut Festival Guitars of the world, Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture, Hudson River Museum, New England Guitar Society, Public Libraries all around USA and internationally in France, Ireland, Portugal and Japan. His second release "Suite del Interior" (original compositions for guitar and string quartet) is a blend of argentine tango/folk dances, jazz harmonies and classical forms recorded with special guest PUBLIQuartet. When not performing he offers private guitar/composition lessons and is also an instructor at Noel Pointer Foundation. At the present he is the composer/guitarist/artistic director of the Park Slope Chamber Players. This is his third album of original works.
