MONROE - At 2 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 21, The Monroe Arts Center presents multi-instrumentalist Todd Green for his third, and final, performance.
Green shares the stage with more than thirty string, percussion, and flute instruments from around the world, taking audiences on a musical tour of faraway countries and cultures. His original music is an blend of classical, jazz, new age, and world music. In concert, he uses multiple digital samplers controlled by a foot pedal while playing. This allows him to record and over-dub instruments in order to create a true ensemble sound.
Green has been writing and performing his own music professionally since the age of 15.
He studied composition, arrangement, and performance at Berklee College of Music and privately with Mark Goodrich, jazz guitar legend at New England Conservatory of Music; Pat Metheny, Grammy-award winning guitarist; and George Benson, international recording star. He also took master classes and workshops with guitar greats such as Christopher Parkening. Green's 25-year professional career includes eight years in New York City, where he studied Indian Tabla drums and Bansuri flut with Steve Goru, performed with the top echelon of studio musicians, and toured extensively with bands throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe. He has toured as a solo artist since 1992.
As part of the Monroe Arts Center's Performance in the Schools Program, Monroe Middle School students, as well as students from surrounding areas, will be treated to a special performance by Todd Green during his visit to Monroe.
General admission tickets are $10, and may be purchased by calling the Monroe Arts Center at (608) 325-5700; or in person at the box office, 1315 11th Street. Additional information on this and other MAC events can be found online at www.monroeartscenter.com
