Ancient Future In World Chamber Music Concert

The pioneering world fusion music group Ancient Future will perform a concert of contemporary world chamber music. The program features compositions by world music for guitar pioneer Matthew Montfort, pianist and santurist Mariah Parker, and prominent contemporary classical composers such as Lou Harrison, father of the American gamelan movement. Lou Harrison served on Ancient Future leader Matthew Montfort's M.A. degree committee and called Montfort's book, Ancient Traditions – Future Possibilities, "a very useful contribution to musical scholarship." Three current releases on Ancient-Future.Com Records celebrating 30 years of world fusion music will be well represented: 'Planet Passion' by Ancient Future (remastered to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the band), Seven Serenades for Scalloped Fretboard Guitar by Ancient Future leader Matthew Montfort, and Sangria by Mariah Parker.
