Join the Medallion Opera House for a live music event…
Frank Vignola and Vinny Raniolo are some of the most extraordinary guitarists performing before the public today and they will be performing as part of the 2014-15 Guitar Series at the Medallion Opera House, 20 Park Street, Gorham on Friday, March 13, 2015 at 7:30 pm. Frank’s stunning virtuosity has made him the guitarist of choice for many of the world’s top musicians, including Ringo Starr, Madonna, Donald Fagen, Wynton Marsalis, Tommy Emmanuel, Mark O’Connor, Boston Pops, New York Pops, and guitar legend Les Paul, who named Vignola to his “Five Most Admired Guitarists List” for the Wall Street Journal. Vinny Raniolo, at the age of 28, has already proved himself to be among the elite having performed and recorded with Bucky Pizzareli, Tommy Emmanuel and David Grisman just to name a few. Since Frank and Vinny teamed up in 2008 they have performed over 1,000 shows at some of the most prestigious concert halls and festivals in the world including the Sydney Opera House, Lincoln Center, Liverpool Philharmonic, Quebec Music Festival and Italy’s Teatro Olimpico. Their jaw dropping technique and incredible showmanship explains why the New York Times deemed them, “….stars of Guitar.” Frank & Vinny have a CD released in Jan. 2013 and an hour long PBS special featuring Tommy Emmanuel and Bucky Pizzarelli which aired with their DVD release in late 2013. “He’s one of the greatest musicians I’ve ever heard”-Tommy Emmanuel.
Tickets are $15/adult and will be available in advance at the Gorham Town Hall, online at http://www.medallionoperahouse.org and at the door. The concert is sponsored by the Mount Washington Auto Road, ProQuip Equipment Sales and Rentals, The Tassey Group and Color Works.
