YOUNG ARTISTS SERIES
...to promote up-and-coming artists
John D'Ercole was born in Sharon, Connecticut in 1987. His formal
music education extended from middle school to Berklee College of Music, where he focused on traditional jazz and contemporary music. Being greatly inspired by Andrés Segovia, John arranged two of his favorite classical compositions for the solo bass guitar. His interest in performing classical music became a passion, and he continued to expand his repertoire. As a result, in 2010 John released his debut CD of classical music for the solo bass guitar. “John’s bass playing and his gentle manner are so magnificent that I know he’ll be a headline performer before he leaves his twenties.” -Sid Bernstein 2/16/11 Friday Night Improv:
You are invited to a unique experience of live improvisation by pianist/composer Timothy Alexandre Wallace. He has been improvising since a child and still continues to surprise even himself with constant new variety of sound and style.
Tonight will be a celebration of my dear and beloved Buddha, the cat that greeted patrons as they entered the studio and beat his tail to the rhythm of the music. PIANO MASTERWORKS SERIES
