Autumn Concert Series featuring Fred Benedetti
2022-09-23 13:00 - 14:00 | Winn Room, Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Join the Library for our Autumn Concert Series on Fridays from September 2 to October 28. Each concert will begin at 1 pm in the Winn Room. Doors will open 15 minutes prior to the performance. At this week’s performance, guitarist Fred Benedetti will perform Spanish classical and flamenco pieces, along with original and popular music, tunes played on an instrument built in 1830, and some ukulele music.

Benedetti has been playing the guitar since he was nine years old. He loves playing all styles of music and switches among a ukulele, baritone guitar, and double-neck guitar. His biggest influences are his father, The Beatles, and Andres Segovia. Benedetti’s guitar has taken him throughout the United States, England, Germany, the Czech Republic, Canada, Taiwan and Mexico. He has played locally as a solo act, as part of a guitar duo, and in a trio with his daughters. Benedetti has appeared onstage with the San Diego Symphony, San Diego Opera, Starlight Opera, American Ballet Company, Luciano Pavarotti, and Dave Brubeck. He is an emeritus professor of music at Grossmont College where he is the head of the guitar studies program. Dignitaries he has performed for include the King and Queen of Malaysia, Mikhail Gorbachev, and Ravi Shankar. And he did get to play for his idol Andres Segovia, in 1986.

Autumn Concert Series featuring Eric Brelsford
2022-09-30 13:00 - 14:00 | Winn Room, Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Join the Library for our Autumn Concert Series on Fridays from September 2 to October 28. Each concert will begin at 1 pm in the Winn Room. Doors will open 15 minutes prior to the performance.

This week’s performance by classical pianist Eric Brelsford will feature pieces by Schumann, Liszt, Chopin, and Rachmaninoff.

Eric Brelsford has appeared on concert stages since 10 years of age. His training in classical performance is extensive and spans the globe. Eric decided to depart from the concert scene after completing his undergraduate studies at the Cleveland Institute of Music. Since then, his personal life and musical/artistic journey (being one and the same) have flourished. Eric’s artistic philosophy is: as in music, so in life. sometimes vice versa.
Eric’s arrival on the San Diego recital scene began a few years ago with a foray into various piano “meetup” groups using the ‘meetup’ app on his smartphone.
From there, he participated and received accolades for his three days of performance presentations at the Conrad in La Jolla during the San Diego Int’l Piano Competition for Amateurs (2019). Eric immediately withdrew from the recital scene again, to consider deeply the next steps of his journey. He will share the results with his performance at the Coronado Public Library.

Adam Wolff Perspective: a Jazz Concert
2022-10-02 15:00 - 16:00 | Coronado Public Library, 640 Orange Ave, Coronado, CA, 92118, United States
Join the library for an afternoon of music by the Adam Wolff Perspective. Spend your Sunday afternoon listening to standards, exciting Latin grooves, original compositions, and a couple of musical surprises.
This concert will take place in Library Park, so bring a chair or blanket or you can use ours!
In case of inclement weather this concert will be moved into the Winn Room.

AWP-THE ADAM WOLFF PERSPECTIVE
Adam Wolff grew up in New York State, travelling back and forth frequently from New York City to the upstate area. He lived in Manhattan during the 1980s, and received a music degree from L.I.U. while performing and teaching in the New York area. His musical interests encompass jazz, classical, pop/rock and world music. He currently performs around the San Diego area with a variety of groups. He enjoys putting his own take on tunes that are not traditionally thought of as “jazz.”
Dave Millard is a unique instrumentalist, with the ability to play fluently on almost any instrument he picks up. He currently counts flute, guitar, cello, saxophone and percussion as his “main” instruments (!). Adam and Dave first met in 1978, when Dave was playing the shakuhachi (a Japanese bamboo flute) in an impromptu concert on the beach. They have been playing together since then, in many different group configurations.
Dave Marr is a stellar musician and bassist; he studied at the Berklee School of Music and played gigs for many years in New York, Chicago, Europe, South America, and the San Diego area. Charles McPherson, the local saxophone legend, included Dave in many performances. His particular love in music is that special era of jazz from the mid-’50s to the late ’60s, when so many of our country’s jazz masters were at their peak.
Barry Farrar comes from a musical family in San Diego- his father, Barry Farrar Senior, had a big band for many years in the area that included many outstanding players. Barry followed his father into jazz, and has played with many of San Diego’s finest musicians, as well as fronting his own groups. The earthy swinging grooves of Art Blakey are just one of his important inspirations.
Collectively, this quartet boasts well over 150 years of jazz performances. It would be hard to calculate how many gigs this represents! (Free CD to the person providing the best estimate.)
