Two internationally recognized musicians are scheduled to perform a cello and piano duet for the University of Tampa students and faculty.
These two artists were invited here by Dr. Grigorios Zamparas to perform and since he knows them personally, he gave us some information to share about the duo.
Carlos Audi, born in Brazil, studied music from the age of seven.
He earned a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from Florida State University and was a member of many orchestras in Brazil and the United States, including the Opera Tampa Orchestra (located at the Straz Center for Performing Arts).
Dr. Zamparas also said that Dr. Audi currently instructs cello and orchestra classes at Hillsborough Community College in addition to teaching at public schools in Hillsborough County.
Hamilton Tescarollo, also a Brazilian native, is the Assistant Professor of Music and Director of Keyboard Studies at Indiana University—Purdue University, Fort Wayne (IPFW).
Dr. Tescarollo’s orchestral debut with the São Paulo State Symphony Orchestra introduced him to many opportunities for both solo and collaborative work throughout the United States, Canada, Europe and South America.
He not only serves as an instructor at IPFW, but Dr. Tescarollo also travels as a master class presenter.
Dr. Zamparas stated that both men have received many awards recognizing their work.
The concert will take place on Sept. 11 in Reeves Theater on the second floor of Vaughn Center at 7:30 p.m.
The performers will play selections including Frédéric Chopin, Brazilian composers Heitor Villa-Lobos and Edmundo Villani-Côrtes and Spanish composer Manuel de Falla. Don’t miss it!
