Richter-Uzur Duo Concert

Event Date
7:30 pm

Ataloa Theatre    

RUDuo

           The Richter-Uzur Duo will perform a concert of music for guitar and cello on Saturday, November 15, 2014 at 7:30 pm in the Ataloa Theatre on the East Central University campus. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students.  The concert is sponsored by the Ada Arts Council and the Oklahoma Arts Council. Tickets may be purchased at Gem Jewelers, 101 W. Main St., Ada.  For more information, go to http://richteruzurduo.com/  or contact Ada Arts Council President, Mark Hollingsworth at 580-559-5424.

            The Richter-Uzur Duo plays a whimsical mashed-up blend of classical, world, and rock music. Viktor Uzur (cello) and Brad Richter (guitar) are each master musicians of the highest caliber with global solo careers, major international awards and intensive training from two of the world’s most lauded musical institutions (The Moscow Conservatory and The Royal College of Music respectively). While developing into classical virtuosi as students, Brad and Viktor cut their teeth in rock bands — Viktor as an electric guitarist and Brad as a guitarist and singer. They also delved into folk and world music but eventually put those interests aside as they pursued their classical concert careers. Since the RUDuo was founded in 2005, they have discovered a way to blend all of the musical styles they love and audiences have as much fun listening to the results as Brad and Viktor have playing.

            The Richter-Uzur Duo has played hundreds of concerts in North America, South America, Europe and Asia and has a rapidly widening circle of communities around the globe that invite them back again and again. In the U.S. the RUDuo is perhaps best known through its regular appearances on NPR’s Performance Today — North America’s most listened to classical music program - as well as frequent national and international broadcasts on the Armed Forces Radio Network and programs such as PBS’s WoodSongs and NPR’s Classical Guitar Alive, which named their debut CD ‘Best New Release’ in 2010.

            Viktor Uzur and Brad Richter are outspoken advocates for the arts and arts education, Brad as the Executive Director of Lead Guitar, a not-for-profit that establishes guitar programs in public schools nation-wide and Viktor as professor at Weber State University and director of the Bonneville Chamber Music Festival. Whenever possible the Duo includes school or community outreach events with their performances.

$5 for students • $10 for ECU employees and the public
 
ECU SCREENS will open the spring season with JOHN, a “transfixing” (Daily Telegraph) dance theatre piece performed by the internationally renowned DV8 Physical Theatre and recorded live at The Royal National Theatre of London.
 
Lloyd Newson, DV8’s Artistic Director, interviewed more than 50 men asking them frank questions, initially about love and sex. One of those men was John. What emerged was a story that is both extraordinary and touching. Years of crime, drug use and struggling to survive lead John on a search in which his life converges with others, in an unexpected place, unknown by most. Because of strong language, nudity, and adult themes, JOHN is suitable for viewers age 18 and up.
 
“Powerful and absorbing.”

ECU SCREENS will present seven productions, including three different Royal National Theater recorded live stage performances, throughout the spring season. The screenings, which range from contemporary works like JOHN to classic literary masterpieces like Treasure Island (March 12) and Of Mice and Men (April 30), are all open to the public.
