Mardi Gras celebrates the incomparable pleasures of music, dance, satire, bibulosity, tables groaning with savory delights – wonderful excesses banished in the sobriety of Lent. This concert’s composers intended nothing requiring penitence (we trust). They reveled in marking the social and artistic freedoms of carnival time. Uruguayan pianist Nando Michelin and Argentinian guitarist Claudio Ragazzi, both renowned interpreter-arrangers, join agile cellist colleague Cameron Sawzin in bringing spirited, sometimes sultry scores to vibrant life.

Mardi Gras around the World lasts about 65′ and is without an intermission.
