The Department of Music Faculty Concert Series presents guitarist David Newsam and the Back Bay Guitar Trio with special guest, oboist Margaret Herlehy, on Friday, Jan. 27, 2006 at 8 p.m. in the Bratton Recital Hall of the Paul Creative Arts Center on the Durham campus. The program will include music by Astor Piazzolla, George Gershwin, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Dave Brubeck.

The Back Bay Guitar Trio is an exciting new ensemble that has made an immediate impression on the New England music scene. The group formed in early 2002 when David Newsam invited former student Steve Marchena and his duo partner John Mason to perform as a trio. All three guitarists are respected educators and performers with extremely diverse musical interests. Combining improvisation and humor with dedication and precision, the BBGT create a new and exciting approach to the classical guitar trio while still respecting the long-standing tradition.

The concert is free and open to the public. For more information, call the UNH Department of Music at 2-2404.
