Sound Of Music By
THAKUR AMGAI The
Austrian-born flute player Karin Leither teamed up with a renowned guitarist Jorgo Panetos
Friday evening (May 14) in a melodious musical concert at Hotel Yak and Yeti. In the
program organized by the Active Women of Nepal (AWON), the duo played about a dozen
instrumental numbers like “Vienese Dances”, “Duet e-minor”,
“Menuett” and “Alla Turca” to name a few. Domeniconi’s
“suite op. 19 for guitar solo” among others derived huge applause from the
audience. In
a typical classroom ambience, more than 50 students who attended the program at the
invitation from AWON enjoyed the “The Sound of Music”. Unlike most of the other
programs that are targeted at the adult audience, this concert was particularly organized
for the children. The artistes also joined the children in a photo-session. The
musician-duo have performed at various places as soloist and in groups. Karin has
performed in Vienna Chamber Orchestra, Vienna Mozart and Austrian Mozart, among others;
and Jorgos has performed as a soloist in Vienna Chamber Orchestra, Orchestra Municipal of
Caracas and the Philharmonic Orchestra Kielce, among others. He has performed in
concerts held in more than 15 countries including Austria, Germany, Italy, France,
Thailand and the USA. Born
in 1972, Karin did her initial schooling in music at the Academy of Music and later
received her final diploma with Prof. Wolfgang Schulz. She has won competitions like
Jugend Musiziert, Musica Juventitus Forum Junger Kuenstler, Telentioium and Live Music
Now. Among other music-related works, she is currently a tutor at the Sandor Vegh
Symposium for Woodwinds in Austria. Athens-born
Guitarist Panetsos studied classical guitar at the National Conservatory of Athens with
Andres Paleologos. Later on, he also took part in several master classes. He has been
teaching for five years in the Department of Musical Psychology at the University of
Vienna. AWON
has been organizing various social activities aimed at helping children and women in the
country. |
