Guitar and cello duo perform at Jackson, Macon libraries

Two award-winning, classically trained artists — guitarist Brad Richter and cellist Viktor Uzur — will perform this weekend at the Jackson and Macon libraries.

The Arizona Daily Star describes the duo’s original music as “straddling the divide of pop and classical music in a way that seems so natural, you wonder why someone had never thought of it before.” The programs will feature a set of their popular mash-ups and an exciting arrangement of “Bohemian Rhapsody,” among others.

Richter is the former U.S. National Finger-Picking Champion and has won numerous prizes for performing and composing. Uzur is former principal cellist and soloist with the Moscow Chamber Orchestra and is a prize winner at many competitions.

The duo will perform at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 28 at the Jackson County Library. The performance at the Macon County Library is at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 30.
