The Altschuler-Caplan Ensemble and Talent, the Agency present an evening concert of virtuosic dances & love songs in an exciting program entitled “Summertime” on Thursday June 26th, at 8pm, at Cafe St. Petersburg.

This evening performance features virtuosic performances of classic Argentine Tangos, Spanish songs & dances, and classics by Gershwin, Paganini, Massenet and more, performed by violinist Emil Altschuler, guitarist Aaron Larget-Caplan, and special guest Josiah Altschuler, Emil’s brother, playing cello in a guitar-style.

Summertime highlights the heartbreak and vivaciousness of Spanish composers Joaquin Rodrigo and Manuel De Falla; the torrent of emotions of the Argentine tangos of Astor Piazzolla & Roland Dyens; lullabies & love songs by Gershwin & Schubert, and the devilishness of Paganini’s violin virtuosity.

The Altschuler-Caplan Ensemble was formed in early 2008 in Boston, and has since had over a dozen performances throughout New England.
