Carlos Aonzo, classical and bluegrass mando, Boston 5/26

Carlos Aonzo, classical and bluegrass mandolinist available for Boston-area house/civic concert Saturday, 5/26

My friends are aware of notloB Folk Concerts' not-for-profit presentations at the Loring-Greenough House in JP and Unity Somerville, but may not be aware of another facet of the series. We are sometimes given opportunities to present world-class musicians for whom, due to venue non-availability or other reasons, we need to see alternative venues.

Such is the case with Carlo Aonzo. A Berklee professor has informed me Italy's most famous classical mandolinist will be in town Saturday, May 26. Carlo has a following in the bluegrass world because he's also a great player there - won the national mandolin championship in Winfield, Kansas in the 90s.

If you have a large space in your home (30+) and would be interested in hosting a house concert / sorkshop, or are affiliated with with a civic group that might be presenting him, please contact me off-list.
