Past Performances

Free Concerts at Children’s Wharf Park

Boston Virtuosi Quartet
Meet members of the Fort Point-based Chamber Orchestra Boston Virtuosi as they perform everything from Mozart – to Bluegrass, Tango and Classic Rock.

Claudio Ragazzi
Extraordinary Argentinean guitarist Claudio Ragazzi, pianist Fernando Michelin, Boston Virtuosi cellist Cameron Sawzin and violinist Gerry Mordis.

Boston Virtuosi’s Channel Cello Band
Cynthia Forbes and Cameron Sawzin with Cello Chix Rebecca Thornblade and Susanna Porte.

New England Brass Ensemble
Boston Virtuosi principal trumpet Jay Daly with the New England Brass Ensemble.

The string quartet performed in the series on June 25th.  Musicians were: Rebecca Katsenes, Jane Hemenway violins, Scoot Woolweaver Viola, Cameron Sawzin Cello. The eclectic program ranged from Mozart Divertimento #3 and Bluegrass tune “Dawg’s Bull to “Layla” by Eric Clapton with red-hot tangos, bluegrass and a taste of Cole Porter in between.
Fabulous Argentinean guitarist and composer Claudio Ragazzi, pianist Fernando Michelin, violinist Gerry Mordis and Cameron Sawzin performed on the July 9th Concert. Claudio recently wrote several pieces for the film score for Francis Ford Copplola’s latest film and played all the guitar on it as well. I have recorded several of his compositions for the PBS show “Nova”. This very unusual concert was a mixture of sophisticated tango, jazz/fusion and contemporary music, featuring beautiful tunes and infectious rhythmic patterns. Claudio arranged all the music for this ensemble. The Ensemble will continue to perform together at future concerts as will the Channel Cello Band the String Quartet.
Boston Virtuosi musicians are developing collaborations with other ensembles, and the rock-out electric cello concert on July 16th featuring the cello chix included wild arrangements of “Dollars and Sense” by Radio Head, Whipping Post by the Allman Brothers and “Kashmir by Led Zepplin. The kinder, gentler first half included elegant acoustic and tonally rich classical music with the unique sound of a cello quartet. On the program were an arrangement of the slow movement of the Brahms Violin Concerto, and a wonderful version of the Mozart Sonata for two Pianos. Also featured were several of Susanna Porte’s lovely Beatles arrangements.
