“To anyone who is a fan of Bela Fleck, Chick Corea or Pat Metheny, Venegoni's work is a must. A musician's musician, Venegoni is a master at one of the world's oldest instruments, the dulcimer.”

“Venegoni has taken the dulcimer into the realm of fusion, and has extended its harmonic possibilities in a manner no less revolutionary than Hendrix did with the guitar.”
ReplyDelete- Piero Scaruffi, Chicago Tribune
“Excellent! Venegoni sees the dulcimer as having sounds unheard. With gusto, imagination and invention, he brings exciting new music from what resembles a miniature version of the insides of a piano.”

Every time I go to a music/dinner event hosted by Phil, I always feel like I am in Heaven. Few things are more sublime than eating wonderful food in a cozy, intimate setting while listening to music one might not normally get to experience live.
ReplyDeleteIf you are familiar with a performer or not-just go to one of the events and you will want to sign up for every single one after that!
