MARLBORO — Marlboro College welcomes a duo of fascinating figures from New York City for their Music for a Sunday Afternoon concert on March 4.
Composer and percussionist Adam Rudolph and pianist Alexis Marcelo will share a concert of wild and wide-ranging music. The concert will be held in Marlboro's Ragle Hall, Serkin Center for the Performing Arts, at 3 p.m., and is free and open to the public.
Hailed as a “pioneer in world music” by The New York Times and “a master percussionist” by Musician magazine, Rudolph has performed extensively in concert throughout North and South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia for the past four decades and has released more than 25 recordings.
Marcelo, a New York City-based pianist, composer, and producer, has a unique sound founded on the great traditions of African American Music, with a driving quest for new music. Educated at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and Harlem School of the Arts, he plays a variety of music from R&B and gospel to hip-hop, house, and jazz.
