The Hoag Music Series is a free concert series at Hoag Library aimed at bringing musical artists to Orleans County who have never before performed here.
Trio Ghidorah is a classical guitar trio formed by Ken Luk, Bernardo Marcondes, and Erik Gibelyou. The three musicians banded together while pursuing their doctoral degrees at the Eastman School of Music. The trio creates arrangements for three guitars of music not originally written for the instrument, including works by Stravinsky, Mozart, and Philip Glass.
Trio Ghidorah’s debut album, Dances and Fantasies, was released in March 2021. The recording includes the group’s arrangements alongside works composed for three guitars by Paulo Bellinati, Stephen Dodgson, and Annette Kruisbrink. The album’s release was celebrated in Rochester, NY with a concert at Bop Shop Records and an article in City Newspaper. Selections from the album have been played on the public radio program The Intimate Guitar.
The trio has performed frequently in the Rochester area and beyond, with concerts at the George Eastman Museum, the Little Theatre, the Eastman School of Music, Alfred University, and SUNY-Geneseo. Their concert programs include music from the classical canon, contemporary works, and Latin American music.
This project is made possible with funds from the Statewide Community Regrant Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature and administered by GO ART!
