Janel Leppin - cello and Anthony Pirog - electric guitar
Together and separately, both musicians have long been an important and active part of Washington D.C.'s new-music scene. Anthony Pirog, an omnivorous, multi-faceted guitarist who studied jazz at Berklee and has performed country, fingerstyle, rock and surf music and Janel Leppin, a conservatory trained cellist steeped in North Indian and Persian classical music, who also plays electric bass in rock bands, have created a lavishly detailed musical journey, by turns ravishing and harrowing. Janel and Anthony alternately charm and challenge, with music that draws from classical, experimental, jazz, rock and electronic traditions but that ultimately is simply theirs.
An Improvisers Exchange Workshop precedes the performance from 3:00p-5:00p in Krannert Center's Orchestra Rehearsal Room located on production level two.
