CLASSICAL REVOLUTION Presents: DUO REVIRADO
Thursday, March 11
In 2005, Thomas Yee and Jose Rodriguez created Duo Revirado, a dynamic ensemble that explores classical, Latin, tango, jazz, folk, as well as their own arrangements. Audiences experience music of a wide spectrum that includes extended techniques and improvisation. Duo Revirado aims to branch out to a broad audience, with a vision of creating music that will excite, inspire, and communicate positively with everyone.
Duo Revirado has been performing to wide acclaim throughout California and Mexico. Highlights have included two projects with the Santa Rosa Symphony s Latin Waves Festival, where they collaborated with tango dancers and symphony chamber players to create a multi-media performance.
Thomas Yee: violin
Jose Rodriguez: guitar
“Yee and Rodriguez grasped the audience’s attention at the SB International Guitar Festival through their musical prowess and communicative abilities.”
Miwa Gofuku, Director, Artistic Planning at Santa Barbara Symphony
“Duo Revirado is a fine, mature ensemble. Their concerts are fun and exciting.”
David Tanenbaum, Renowned Guitar Collaborator & San Francisco Conservatory of Music Professor
More than an ensemble, more than a presenting organization, Classical Revolution is a global phenomenon, revolutionizing the way live classical music is programmed and heard. The idea which took shape in November of 2006 at Revolution Café in San Francisco’s Mission District is now represented in more than a dozen cities on three continents. (In the Bay Area alone, they present an average of 15-20 performances each month.) Residencies are held at Revolution Café, SoCha Café, Amnesia, Caffe Divino (Sausalito), Bazaar Café, and Musical Offering Café (Berkeley). Classical Revolution has been featured in publications including San Francisco Classical Voice, SF Weekly, SF Chronicle, Sunset Magazine, SOMA Magazine, Strings Magazine, and The New York Times.
