    Tomando, that must have been a long drive to see them from Long Beach, CA to Pittsburgh.

    For those in the greater New York City area/Hudson Valley, etc. The Trio is performing in the greater New York City area/Hudson Valley this Friday, September 21.




    Carlo Aonzo Trio - "A Mandolin Journey"



    Friday, September 21 - 7:30pm – 10:00pm

    Tompkins Corners Cultural Center will present the Carlo Aonzo Trio, featuring Mr. Aonzo on mandolin, Lorenzo Piccone on guitar & vocals, and Luciano Puppo on double bass.

    Their presentation of A Mandolin Journey is a brilliant, bold and adventurous concert of a broad range of music - not only from their Italian roots, but also American and European ethnic and jazz compositions from David Grisman to Jethro Burns, Jacob do Bandolim and more.

    Aonzo says, "Often the mandolin has traveled in 3rd class, accompanying immigrants through seas and continents, inside cardboard suitcases to unknown lands. But wherever it landed it made its new dwelling by cleverly integrating with the local culture. This is confirmed by the different shapes and tunings that it took up within the various musical genres that welcomed it.

    "We present the Italian mandolin’s journey in its various traditional, renewed and reinvented aspects; a modern melting pot of music and culture. A musical map, sailing off from the strong foundations of our tradition towards other interesting and unexpected sonorous routes."

    Suggested donation is $20, students and seniors $15.

    He was in Asheville two weeks ago, kinda blows up the whole theory of what's required for a mandolin to sound exceptional.
