SONIC SEASONINGS 2006
Live Concerts for Christmas with
Ottmar Liebert, The California Guitar Trio,
Al Petteway & Amy White and Acoustic Eidolon

Immerse yourself in a different kind of Christmas soundscape with Sonic Seasonings 2006, a quartet of intimate acoustic performances for the holiday season.

OTTMAR LIEBERT
Nouveau Flamenco pioneer Ottmar Liebert brings his Luna Negra ensemble in, accompanied by a string quartet for a set of original music and inventive versions of carols found on his CD, Winter Rose.

THE CALIFORNIA GUITAR TRIO
The California Guitar Trio have been frequent guests on NPR programs. Former students of Robert Fripp, they play their three guitars as if they were a single musician with multiple arms. They perform a set of original and familiar carols that highlight their pristine precision.

AL PETTEWAY AND AMY WHITE
Al Petteway and Amy White have just released a seasonal CD called Winter Tidings. With a delicate mix of guitars, mandolins and dulcimers, they play tunes that evoke the winter landscape of their North Carolina home.

ACOUSTIC EIDOLON
Acoustic Eidolon is the duo of cellist Hannah Alkire and guitarist Joe Scott, formerly of The New Christy Minstrels and Wind Machine. They create an evocative chamber music sound of winter whistling through the mountains of their home in Boulder, Colorado.
