Musician Bios:
Aria
Aria is Augustine Sasso, tenor, and Dan Licardo, guitar. They have been performing together in New York on and off for the past 15 years. They have known each other since they were ten years old and began playing music together in high school.
They have played at the Postcrypt at Columbia University and the Piper's Kilt in Inwood. Augustine has been in many opera productions in New York, including Carnegie Hall and SummerStage in Central Park. Dan has been playing guitar for 30 years and taught music to preschoolers at the YM&YWHA of Inwood.
Wadsworth Strings
The Wadsworth Strings Ensemble features music for classical strings, from the symphonies of Mozart and Haydn, to well known arias from the operas of Puccini and Bizet, adding in a selection of continental Viennese waltzes and French cabaret. Musicians of The Claremont Strings Ensemble have performed collectively at Weill Hall, Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall and throughout the Northeast, playing a diverse range of symphonic and chamber music, eclectic jazz, and gypsy swing. Wadsworth Strings, emanating from the Washington Heights area, is a division of Claremont Strings, founded by Vivian Penham, a graduate of the Juilliard School and Columbia University.
Fiona Crawford
A gal and her ukulele. Fiona brings together seldom-heard jazz standards and eclectic pop covers, sung sweetly over the strums of a tiny guitar.
Definitely a welcome change from the norm, capturing and romancing the entire audience at every show...
T Fleisher Trio
Guitarist T Fleisher is a graduate of Berklee College of Music in Boston. He has done extensive studio and performance work in the Northeast. Mr. Fleisher released a well-received CD, "Mirage," with multi-instrumentalist Paul Briggs and is the singer/song writer/guitarist for the progressive rock group cyber garden who are now completing their second CD. He has worked with a wide variety of artists, including Mark Whitecage, Perry Robinson, Rick Derringer, Jimmy Cliff and David Darling.
Jim Corter has been playing bass professionally since high school. He studied string bass with a number of teachers including the principal bassists of the Toronto Symphony, the National Symphony, and the North Carolina Symphony, and jazz improvisation with Jerry Coker. He has played with bands and some noted jazz artists on both coasts.
One of TC's own, Dr. Miranda is an adjunct assistant professor in the music department where he teaches percussion. As a latin-jazz "vibes" player, Angelo has a strong affinity for the music of Cal Tjader but he is also a diverse drumset player where for example, he is regarded as one of the most versatile and tasteful drummers on the American-Hungarian music scene. Angelo is the Video Services Coordinator at TC and gives workshops on sound and video production for the CIS department.
