Celebrate Love during the month of February with a program dedicated to songs of LOVE. From the soft jazz of Nat King Cole’s L-O-V-E to the sweet tenor tone of A Night in Berkeley Square and, of course, the Rock n’ Roll adventure with Sunshine of Your Love, discover pop, rock, Broadway and classical tunes that all share the theme of LOVE. This unique sound, provided by Alex Prizgintas and his amplified cello, will be part of the Pleasant Valley Library on February 3rd at 2:00 PM (please register online). Classically trained, he employs non-classical tools like distortion, delay, and the iconic “wah-wah” guitar pedals symbolic of 1960s Rock n’ Roll bands–all in conjunction with a looping station. Equally comfortable with intimate and stadium settings, Alex is able to craft his own wall-of-sound through his 1,000 watt amp. Accompanied with a narration that reveal some of the back stories of baroque, jazz, folk, and Rock n’ Roll classics, he immerses his audience in a journey through musical history.
