Red Rock Rondo September 15, 2012

Red Rock Rondo will perform a CD-release concert for their new recording: "Red Rock Rondo Live at the Symphony: A Secret Gift." It will be presented by Brolly Arts and produced by MUSIC-in-the-BOX. A Secret Gift is a new Americana song cycle inspired by recently-found letters from the Great Depression. They were written in response to an anonymous giftgiver on Christmas Eve, 1933. Lives were changed by the generous offer of a helping hand. The story of these letters is told in the bestselling book by Ted Gup, A Secret Gift (Penguin Press 2010). Red Rock Rondo is an Emmy Award-winning chamber folk ensemble consisting of six of Utah's acoustic musicians: composer Phillip Bimstein, Kate MacLeod, Hal Cannon, Charlotte Bell, Flavia Cervino-Wood and Harold Carr. They perform on piano, guitars, violins, oboe, English horn, concertina, harmonica, bass and vocals. Their music is a well-crafted synergy of folk, jazz and classical, woven into a truly original Americana style.
