Castellani/Andriaccio Duo to Perform At "UB At Sunrise"

BUFFALO, N.Y. -- The tango -- that romantic, Latin American dance form -- will be the focus of a "UB at Sunrise" program by the Castellani/Andriaccio Duo to be held from 7:30-9 a.m. May 27 in the Center for Tomorrow on the North Campus.

In the presentation, titled "With Strings Attached: Breakfast with the Acclaimed Castellani & Andriaccio Guitar Duo," Joanne Castellani, a lecturer in the Department of Music in the UB College of Arts and Sciences, and her husband, Michael Andriaccio, will take participants on a remarkable journey with the tango as this illusive dance form makes its way around the globe.

One of the foremost guitar duos in the world today, the Castellani/Andriaccio Duo has performed to enormous critical praise on three continents in venues including the White House. It has been the recipient of many awards and distinctions, including the National Endowment for the Arts' prestigious Solo Recitalists Fellowships.

Both Castellani and Andriaccio are alumni of the UB music performance program.

The cost of the "UB at Sunrise" lecture, which includes a full breakfast, is $10 for UB Alumni Association members and $12 for the general public. For more information or to make reservations, call 829-2608.

The Alumni Association, UB's Office of Conferences and Special Events, Office of News Services and Office of Publications produce "UB at Sunrise." It also is supported by the Office of University Development and the Office of the Vice President for Public Service and Urban Affairs.
