BIRD & BECKETT CULTURAL LEGACY PROJECT

Friday, January 24th — 8:30-10pm
Double Bass Dreams
bass soloist Gustavo Lorenzatti

Gustavo Lorenzatti is an Argentinian double bass player and cellist, a composer and a long-standing member of the Symphony Orchestra of Córdoba. He has a background in classical music, jazz, tango and Brazilian music, as well as Argentinian folklore. He studied formally at the Rotterdam Conservatory of Music with the soloist of the Netherlands Philharmonic, Hans Roelofsen.

Gustavo often performs solo and in other intimate configurations, and is known for his original way of approaching the bass and cello, exploring all the possible elements–bow, pizzicato, percussion, different tunings, etc.,  adding voice for a uniquely layered sound.

He has played on tour in Mexico, Japan and Australia, as well as in many European and South American countries. He has collaborated with artists including Egberto Gismonti, Osbaldo Pugliese, Martha Argerich, Michael Moore, and Lalo Schifrin.

We last heard Gustavo from our stage a year ago, we’re pleased and excited to welcome him back.
