Shenandoah Guitar Festival: Patterson/Sutton Duo

Experience the artistry of Patterson/Sutton Duo in a captivating performance presented as part of this year’s Shenandoah Guitar Festival. Known for their seamless collaboration and expressive musicianship, cellist Kimberly Patterson and guitarist Patrick Sutton present a dynamic program highlighting the richness and versatility of the guitar and cello through contemporary works by Stephen Goss, Raffaele Bellafronte, Mathias Duplessy and Atanas Ourkouzounov.

Blending precision, nuance and engaging musical dialogue, the program traverses a vivid range of musical landscapes — from the lyrical and contrasting movements of Goss’ Preludes or Postludes and Bellafronte’s rhythmically charged Suite No. 1 for Cello and Guitar to the dreamlike character of Duplessy’s Sonata for Guitar and Cello in Four Dreams and the energetic flair of Ourkouzounov’s Bulgarian Rock. Together, Patterson and Sutton offer an evening of chamber music that is both intimate and compelling.
