About the Performers:
Idaho native Rhonda Bradetich has premiered several works by Northwest composers and has appeared in the Northwest Bach Festival and the Zephyr Chamber Music Series in Spokane. She is a member of the Sun Valley Summer Symphony and has performed with the Spokane Symphony, the Boise Philharmonic, and the North Idaho Symphony. She has appeared regularly in the Festival at Sandpoint's Chamber Music Series where she studied with Pulitzer Prize-winner Gunther Schuller.
Paul Grove's love of music has brought him before enthusiastic audiences throughout the United States, Canada, Russia, Brazil, and India. The Inlander raves that “Paul Grove plays with so much style, flare, and sparkle, it is just a delight.” Grove teaches at several regional universityies and has performed at many festivals and concerts over the years, including for Spokane Public Radio.
About the Bradetich-Grove Duo, Bradetich says, "Paul and I met almost 20 years ago, teaching at the same college in Northern Idaho. A colleague suggested we play together for a faculty recital and a duo was born, lasting longer than many marriages. Since then, we've toured around the US and performed on stages large and small. The music we've been drawn to so far varies from Bach's Baroque sonatas, to Brazilian choros and the tango music of Astor Piazzolla, to contemporary atonal music like Joan Tower's Snow Dreams. We also began composing together a decade ago. Our concerts always have an informal dialogue, with comments ranging from Paul's musical anthropology to my emotional insights into the thoughts and feelings of the composers whose music we represent."
