By Azaraimy HH
Bandar Seri
Begawan - Brunei Music Society (BMS) and Toyota organised a
music concert last Friday evening, featuring the Caponata Argamacho
Trio (CAT) at Orchid Garden Hotel.
US Ambassador to Brunei Darussalam
Mr. Gene Christy, who is Chairman of BMS, was among the guests at the
concert.
During the concert, music enthusiasts
were given an opportunity to experience richly innovative and exciting
sounds produced by the European trio.
The group, formed in 2002, has a
unique style that is strongly influenced by contemporary as well as
traditional music.
The fusion of the instruments -
soprano saxophone, violin and electric base - creates a musical
atmosphere which is unique and mesmerising.
Saxophonist Nacho Gil is a talented
self taught player, with a background in medieval and ethnic music.
Also a composer for theatre music, he has toured the world with
various Flamenco artists.
Violinist Rafael F Viedma is an
arranger and composer. He once toured Europe with the Spanish National
Youth Orchestra, and since 1990, has dedicated himself exclusively to
chamber music. He also toured Europe and the United States with
Flamenco artists.
Bassist Mangu Diaz is a self-taught,
multiinstrumentalist and founder of the group, Folk. He has performed
at numerous festivals throughout Europe.
BMS, approaching its 32 year of
establishment, continues to organise a wide variety of music events,
from mainstream classical to opera to jazz.
Among the events lined up for next
year are a guitar and voice performance by the Double Take, and piano
concert by Anthony Peebles.
The BMS concert was sponsored by HSBC,
NBT, CfBT, Standard Chartered Bank, Royal Brunei Airlines, Jati
Transport, Ernst & Young, and Teck Guan Group, and supported by Orchid
Garden Hotel, Katz I Design Group, Brunei Press, Processta Printing
and Trading, and Bru-Online. --
