MARTYNAS LEVICKIS AND ABE MCWILLIAMS TO PERFORM AT RONNIE SCOTTS
Lithuanian accordionist Martynas Levickis and violinist Abe McWillniams (Duo Versus) will be presented by Lizzie Ball in the concert series “Classical kicks”. Thursday, 31st January 2013, at 7.30, Ronnies Bar, Ronnie Scotts, 47 Frith Street, London, United Kingdom. Tickets: http://www.classicalkicks.com/events/
DUO VERSUS is the pairing of two like-minded musicians (Abe McWilliams, violin, Martynas Levickis, accordion) who passionately explore the diverse repertoire possibilities of the union between the violin and the accordion. As well as arranging and performing transcriptions of sonatas for violin and piano, Duo Versus also delves into other genres and styles from tango, improvisation and folk music to commissioning contemporary works by living composers. Having performed in venues in both UK and Lithuania, notably with performances in the Christopher Summer Festival in Vilnius, Lithuania, August 2012, the duo has been praised for their captivating and creative playing, as well as their unique appearance on stage and innovative use of stage designs and costumes to create an effect which is different to most traditional ensembles.
