The Cazenovia Public Library invites music enthusiasts of all ages to the Community Room on Friday, September 23rd, at 7:00 pm for a special Folk Music and Jazz concert performed by the D’Mello Ensemble.
The D’Mello Ensemble is a talented group of musicians composed of Ralph D’Mello on the flute and clarinet, Edward O’Rourke on the clarinet, Amy Militi on the bassoon, Joseph Carfagno on the accordion, and William Quick on the drums. All of the members are well-known musicians in the Central New York area and each has performed with leading organizations over the past several years.
The program includes “Folk Dances of India” for flute, clarinet, and bassoon, by Ralph D’Mello; “Indian Folk Songs from N.E. India” for flute and clarinet, also by Ralph D’Mello; and “Suite (d’après Corrette)” for two clarinets and bassoon, by Darius Milhaud. The Jazz Trio (clarinet, accordion, and drums) will then perform a set of seven pieces, including “Memories of You,” “Begin the Beguine,” and “Goodbye,” as a tribute to the great clarinetists Benny Goodman, Artie Shaw, Bud DeFranco, and Tony Scott.
