PUTNEY-Next Stage Arts presents a special evening of live music on Saturday, March 15, featuring two musical groups: Sol y Canto and The Soubrettes, at Next Stage Arts, 15 Kimball Hill, starting at 7:30 p.m.
Sol y Canto is an award-winning, pan-Latin ensemble led by Rosi Amador (Puerto Rican/Argentine singer and percussionist) and Brian Amador (New Mexican guitarist, singer, and composer). For more than 30 years, this duo has brought their music to audiences across the country and beyond.
Known for their engaging performances, Sol y Canto blends Latin styles with contemporary sounds. Their concerts include original songs and a variety of musical influences, from traditional Latin American rhythms to contemporary jazz.
Rosi's voice, Brian's guitar work, and their skillful use of percussion create a sound that organizers say "often feels like a much larger ensemble." The duo's performances are celebrated for their emotional range: "they'll have you laughing, dancing, crying, and sighing, all within the span of a single concert," say organizers.
Since their formation in 1994, Sol y Canto has performed at venues such as the Kennedy Center, Boston's Symphony Hall, and the California World Music Festival. Their innovative approach has earned praise from critics and fans alike, with The Boston Globe calling them "(1)beloved ambassadors of Latin music."
The Soubrettes are a vocal ensemble directed by Anna Patton under the umbrella of the Vermont Jazz Center. Known for their intricate vocal harmonies, The Soubrettes specialize in jazz, swing, and blues, offering their take on classic tunes and contemporary songs alike. Their performances "are marked by wit, charm, and plenty of sass - capturing the spirit of the soubrette, the lively, often comical character from musical theater who isn't afraid to steal the show," say organizers.
With a repertoire that spans genres and decades, The Soubrettes have gained a reputation for their performances, showcasing their vocal abilities.
Tickets are $22 in advance, $25 at the door, and $10 for access to the livestream. For more information and tickets, visit nextstagearts.org.
