Euphoria!

Euphoria! is a new collaboration which brings together one of the world's finest mandolinists, Masataka Hori, with the exquisite guitar and piano duo, mimi duo (Duncan Gardiner – guitar and Setsu Masuda – piano), and the combined forces of the wonderful Mandolins in Brisbane. This combination of mandolin, guitars, piano and orchestra promises a concert filled with fun and energy.

The musicians will present gorgeous music from Spain, Italy, Japan and Australia, including numerous original works. Vivaldi's sparkling Mandolin Concerto in C Major and the rhythmical guitar concerto Spanish Impressions form the centrepiece of the program, capped off with Masataka Hori's own orchestral extravaganza, Euphoria! The trio comprising Hori, Gardiner and Masuda will also present two acclaimed pieces dedicated to the victims and survivors of the tsunami disaster that affected vast areas of Japan in 2011.
