For their fifth two-guitar recital in Stonington, brilliant acoustic guitarists Joseph Ricker and Jamie Balmer leave South America and Iberia at home. Their deliciously idiomatic new realizations of beloved Bach scores meld transparency with rich warmth, celebrated counterpoint with familiar, beloved melodies. Perched on our performance platform, Joe and Jamie will project vividly into La Grua’s responsive, clear acoustic. The sight lines and listening in any corner of the hall are superb.
