UNIQUE DOUBLE NECK GUITAR

Based in Charlotte, NC, Mark Kroos is one of the only people in the world touring with a double neck guitar. His style is characterized by open harmonies, polyphonic textures, incredible tapping technique, and is as entertaining to watch as it is to hear. His performances burst with energy and magnetism not typical of solo guitar music. Drawing influence from folk, Celtic, indie and even punk rock artists as well as other great guitarists, Mark Kroos has developed his own edge to the acoustic guitar. In July 2011 Mark took first place in Guitar Play Magazine’s International Guitar Superstar Competition in Nashville, prompting critics to claim his sensitivity to the music and positive energy to be truly refreshing.

CLASSICAL MUSIC UNDER A NEW LENS

Classical Revolution PHX presents a mix of artists and ensembles programming original works and arrangements in a variety of styles. They seek to emphasize the fun and power of classical compositions performed in a casual manner, breaking down the traditional expectations of classical music by taking it into the community - on public transportation, into pubs, open spaces, alternative venues and beyond - to expose the art form to new audiences. In 2013, they received Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton’s Arts Award for Music Organization. Featured at this concert are Clarinets for Conservation; Christopher Charbonneau and Hanah Vutipadadorn, saxophone and piano duo; Jennifer Bindel, collaborative piano and vocalist; and the Classical Revolution PHX String Quartet.
