The acclaimed Newman & Oltman Guitar Duo will celebrate the world
premier of Cuban legend Leo Brouwer's The Book of Imaginary Beings,
written for and dedicate to the Duo, at New Jersey's Raritan River Music
Festival on Saturday, May 25. The 16 minute, four movement composition
was inspired by a compendium of mythological beings created by Argentine
author Jorge Luis Borges. The Duo, Michael Newman and Laura Oltman,
holds exclusive performing and recording rights to this highly
anticipated addition to the guitar duet repertoire and will perform its
New York premiere at the opening of the New York Guitar Seminar on June
26.
