The Bolton Memorial Concert
The world’s preeminent guitar duo performs their final concert together, bringing their unparalleled artistry and spellbinding ensemble playing back to the stage that helped launch them more than four decades ago.
Brazilian brothers Sérgio and Odair Assad have been essential to the evolution of the art of the guitar around the world – and at The 92nd Street Y. A major prize win at the Young Artists Competition in Bratislava in 1979 began their international career, which launched in New York City with a concert on our stage in January 1980. The duo returned many times over the years, through a career that found them collaborating with artists from Yo-Yo Ma to Gidon Kremer, expanding the repertoire with new works created for them by Astor Piazzolla, Terry Riley, and many others. The Assads planned their entire farewell-as-a-duo tour to end on the stage that helped introduce them. Don’t miss what is sure to be an extraordinary night of telepathic music-making, deep artistry, and heart.
