On February 9th the Providence Mandolin Orchestra, directed by Mark Davis, returns to the Arts in the Village Series in Rehoboth, Massachusetts, to present the US premiere of Javier Riba's 'Acerca de la Felicidad' - an award-winning Spanish concerto for guitar and plucked string orchestra. The piece will feature the brilliant young concert guitarist Adam Levin.

Mr. Levin is well-suited for this role having produced a four-volume CD series called '21st Century Spanish Guitar’ on the Naxos label. An avid chamber musician, he performs with William Knuth (violin) in Duo Sonidos and Jacob Reuven (mandolin) in Duo Mantar. Levin is professor of guitar at the University of Rhode Island where he directs the URI Guitar Festival, and also teaches at UMass-Boston.
