David Norton & Dylan Scharer to play UCGS/IAMA concert The Intermountain Acoustic Music Association and the Utah Classical Guitar Society will join forces in presenting a concert featuring two of Salt Lake City's best known fingerstyle guitarists, David Norton & Dylan Schorer. Norton, who writes the monthly lAMA column, Classical Comer, moved to Utah two years ago from California. He is President of the UCGS, and a member of the lAMA Board of Trustees. Schorer won first prize at the 1993 Telluride fingerstyle guitar competition. A native of Nephi, he attended USU in Logan before moving to Salt Lake City in 1992. David and Dylan both teach at Acoustic Music Studios, and also play regularly at The Park Cafe restaurant, in Salt Lake City. "The original plan for this concert," according to Norton, "was as a traditional duo program with myself and Steve Lyman. Steve hurt his shoulder in August while mountain biking and had to cancel out. I knew that since Dylan's prize-winning performance at Telluride, people in Salt Lake have been wanting to hear him in a concert setting. The UCGS and lAMA have been trying to work more closely together than is perhaps the norm in most communities; this seemed like a good chance to attract members from both audiences who might like to hear the other style. Revie-w-s ... "I firmly believe that classical, steelstring, and flamenco represent three sides of a fingerstyle triangle. There is a lot of room for variety within each discipline, but it is all good music." So, what's on the agenda? "The program will be shared between us more or less equally. I will open each half, with Dylan following. At the end of the show we'll join up for a duet or two. Most of the music will be light-hearted in style, properly suited for a mid-autumn soiree. "A major event of this concert is the first performance of a work commissioned by the UCGS. Called Benedictus, it is a set of variations on a Gregorian chant, Tantum Ergo, used in the Catholic Church's Easter Week celebrations. Benedictus was written especially for this concert by James Whitaker, music director at St. Vincent's Church in Holladay. I had hoped for a decent work; I got a minor masterpiece. This composition is written in a neo-romantic style, very similar to the works of Manuel Ponce or Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco. In fact, there are a couple of indirect quotes from Tedesco's Capriccio Diabolico, and tips of the pen to Ponce and Heitor Villa-Lobos, too." The concert will take place at 8 p.m., Saturday, October 16, at the Social Work Auditorium at the Univeristy of Utah. Tickets are $5 for all seats, and are available at the usual locations. The view from Rocky Mountain Folks Festival, 1993 The following are my impressions, schmoozings, musings, opinions, etc. ofthe 1993 Rocky Mountain Folks Festival, August 28-29, in Estes Park, Colorado. My preferences will be clear, fortunately or unfortunately. The Rocky Mountain Folks Festival is the "folk" branch of the Telluride Bluegrass series of festivals. This was the third edition. Each has been held at the ball field across from Lake Estes, a beautiful setting, surrounded by huge mountains. Being my first year on Planet Bluegrass I needed to learn some of the "rules." Bring a tarp, not just a blanket-the grass is wet and it rains. Bring plenty o' sunscreen and a big hat. Your blanket/tarp becomes your world for two full days-so bring plenty of toys (bubbles, kites, books), food, water, coffee, etc. The rules about chairs are strictly enforced. If you can roll a basketball under it you must sit behind the sound tent. The temperature goes from high 40s to mid 80s and back, so many varieties of clothing are required. Saturday started out cloudy and cool, progressing to hot, bright sun. It didn't rain, despite some threatening from the skies. We managed to stay away from the beer-milkshakes (blech), but did succumb to the delicious veggie burgers offered by one local food stand. The show began with Dan Sheridan, the Telluride Troubadour winner for 1993. His music was energetic, wonderfully written and performed. Watch for him, support him. He's young and talented. Michael Kroll was another new face. His stuff was GREAT, witness by the fact that he has just signed a recording deal with EMI. Cosy Sheridan presented a good set, mostly wonderful songs from her Quietly Led CD. Her continued next page 6 Intermountain Acoustic Musician, October 1993 |
