Violinist Galo Arboleda Solorzano and pianist Jacob Bernhardt will play two concerts this weekend for the New Music Guild.

Solorzano has been a frequent guest artist at New Music Guild events and also has been a member of the New Music Festival Chamber Orchestra. He holds advanced degrees from Kent State University School of Music and has played with the Stow Symphony Orchestra.

On his recent tour in Ecuador, he performed all four concertos of Vivaldi’s “The Seasons” with an orchestra in an old church built in the early 1600s for an audience of more than 1,000 people. He has premiered a number of original works by New Music Guild director and composer Robert Rollin.

Bernhardt will be making his NMG debut. He was born into a musical family in the Chicago suburbs and began taking piano lessons at age 6 with renowned pedagogue Emilio del Rosario at the Music Institute of Chicago.

He was the 2006 recipient of the Union League Civic and Arts Foundation Classical Piano Scholarship and studied with David Lehman at Bob Jones University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree.

In 2019 he joined the Cleveland Institute as a staff apprentice and accompanied the Cleveland Orchestra choruses and the Cleveland State University choruses.

The two performers will collaborate on performance of works by Edvard Grieg, Johann Sebastian Bach, Robert Rollin and other composers.

Performances are scheduled at 7 p.m. Friday at SS. Peter and Paul Church, Holy Apostles Church, 421 Covington St., Youngstown, and 7 p.m. Saturday at Jefferson Congregational Church, 41 E. Jefferson St., Jefferson.

Admission is free, and receptions will follow each recital.
