We are pleased to present our arrangement of the iconic and legendary, Fandango, by Padre Antonio Soler, the genius monk of the baroque era. This work was a mainstay of our touring repertoire for years. The ubiquitous and haunting two measure ostinato motif, inspires, enchants and delights in all of its possibilities. The use of modal duplicity makes this unique piece a wonder in its place in the history of western music and has been a blueprint for imaginative interpreters in countless media. Enjoy and be challenged by its endless possibilities.

MY OTHER ART
By Michael Andriaccio

From birth, I had the great fortune to be exposed to music and art. They were the air that I breathed. I was the youngest in a musical family. My parents were both accomplished musicians and my older sister, Diane, studied piano for many years. I would sit on the floor under our grand piano as my mother would coach my sister on the keyboard, preparing her for her lessons. I chose my lineage well! My grandfather’s name was Michelangelo Andriaccio, and my father was Angelo Andriaccio—a truly gifted musician who played the vibes for a stint with Tommy Dorsey.
