[[wysiwyg_imageupload:14:]]Teacher and composer Mike Marshall and Bulgarian virtuoso Caterina Lichtenberg blended bluegrass music and "plinky Italian serenades" with the New Century Chamber Orchestra this past weekend.

The Chronicle praised Mike's "vigorous and tender performance" of his original composition Mandolin Concerto No. 1, noting  its "exuberant fiddle-based dance" and its "winsome ballad." 

Watch as Mike and Caterina "join forces" on the "blistering Brazilian showpiece" 'Nao Me Toques.'
