Cem Duruöz
“His excellent stage presence complements his virtuosic technique and musical, elegant artistry.” said Grammy winner guitarist Sharon Isbin–one of the many accolades that guitarist Cem Duruöz has received from performers and critics alike.
Mr. Duruöz has performed in four continents in countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Japan, France, Greece, Bosnia, Spain, Serbia, Poland, Mexico, throughout Turkey and the USA. His recent concert appearances include his Concierto de Aranjuez performances with the Turkish National Symphony Orchestra, a French Baroque Concert at the prestigious Istanbul Festival, recitals at the Baščaršijske Noći Festival in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Gliwice Guitar Festival in Poland and Amigos de la Guitarra in Spain as well as the World Premiere performance of the Jazz Concerto by Robert Strizich. His 2007-2008 season will include a return performance at the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in a program titled Guitar in Turkey, recitals at the Connecticut and Boston Classical Guitar Societies, a concert and master-classes at the Semana International de Guitarra in Spain and the world premiere of Anatolia Guitar Concerto, featuring Turkish melodies and rhythms written for him by American composer David Hahn.
Raul Jaurena, master of the Tango, is among today’s most prominent bandoneon players. His music plays a very personal tribute to the influences of his native South America and his newly adopted hometown of New York. It combines the traditional roots of the tango and the style of the “Tango Nuevo” influenced by Astor Piazzolla. The bandoneon has become his second nature. Jaurena’s music is at the same time melancholy and provocative, bittersweet and tender- it lets your blood boil and makes your feet twitch. Through playing innumerable “milongas”, the legendary tango nights of the dance cafés, Jaurena’s bandoneon has long since made its way to the big theatres and concert halls.
The bandoneon has influenced Jaurena’s life right from the cradle. He was raised in Uruguay and his father taught him how to play the bandoneon - at the age of eight he already joined a tango orchestra. The fascination for this highly emotional music grabbed him and has not let go of him ever since. As a member of and adaptor for various renowed tango-ensembles in the nineteensixties and seventies in Uruguay, Argentina ,Brasil,Chile,Ecuador and Venezuela, Raul Jaurena lays the tracks for his career. A performance together with Astor Piazzolla at the Montreal Jazz Festival turns out be guiding for his musical development: Strongly influenced by Piazzolla’s music, Jaurena teams up with four friends to form the New York Buenos Aires Connection which under his direction in no time develops to one of the leading tango-formations in the USA. The conservation of the musical spirit of Astor Piazzolla becomes his personal vocation: Jaurena’s tango interpretations which are enriched by influences of jazz, his own arrangements and spontaneous improvisations fascinate a new generation of listeners and dancers. The New York Tango Trio was founded shortly after, Raul Jaurena along with Ethan Everson and Pablo Aslan is able to achieve the same success as he does with his quintet that he is still leading to this very day.
