A NEW DUO! Sérgio Assad, guitar & Richard Scofano, bandoneon
A new duo, the great master of guitar and of composition Sérgio Assad joins with the great master of bandoneón and composition Richard Scofano. Come for the fireworks!! This will be amazing.
The amazing Brazilian master of guitar Sérgio Assad returns to Tucson, this time with the outstanding Argentinean bandoneón player Richard Scofano. Born into a musical family in Mococa, São Paulo, Brazil, Sérgio Assad began creating music for the guitar not long after he began playing the instrument, learning Brazilian folk melodies from his father. Over the last thirty years Assad has concentrated most of his efforts on building a repertoire for the guitar duo. As a composer Assad has completed over a hundred works for guitar, many of which have become standards in the classical guitar repertoire, along the way garnering several Latin Grammys.
A master of the bandoneón, Richard Scofano was born in Pasode los Libres, Argentina, and is the descendant of three generations of bandoneonists. Beyond his renowned virtuosity, musicality and sensibility, Scofano is also an accomplished composer, arranger, and musical director. Richard grew up in the center of the folk traditions and culture of Northeast Argentina in a home constantly filled with musicians and singers and, nowadays, his artistry is a testimony to his mastering of the genre, to his musical craft, and to his ability to combine both through an exceptional creative genius.
