“From Albeniz to Zeppelin,” Richter Uzur Duo
Brad Richter, guitar and Viktor Uzur, cello
FREE CONCERT sponsored by Weber County RAMP
“The Richter Uzur Duo is doing some amazing stuff. Wait until you hear…. This is going to be very special.”
Michael Johnathan. Host of PBS's WoodSongs
Since October of 2008 The Richter Uzur Duo has appeared regularly on NPR broadcasts of American Public Media’s Performance Today. The Richter Uzur Duo may be unique in the way they combine classical, rock and folk music and themes into truly original new compositions as well as in the way they collaborate. Because they live almost 1,000 miles apart, they do a great deal of composing over the phone and Internet, writing parts separately, combining and re-developing them while on concert tours together. It is rare that two successful classical composers come together to co-write music of such distinction. The fun and friendship Viktor and Brad share in this partnership are obvious on stage and in their music.
