For their third performing season, Duo Cantabile will feature a program entitled “World
Tour of Music Cuisines”. After the industrial revolution in Europe, music became more
accessible to the middle class people. This phenomenon made music spread across the
globe rapidly. Composers in the east and west incorporated various flavors of their native
traditional music into their own compositions. Duo Cantabile’s concert will present music
that will carry you to many destinations in Europe such as Spain, Romania, and Hungary;
to Japan and China in Asia; and on to Brazil, Argentina, the Caribbean, and United States in
the Americas. The concert will conclude with the world premiere of a composition written
by Christopher Gable.
