NEXT EVENT: NEW (YEAR'S) DOWNBEAT

We close out 2023 at Classical Revolution Cincinnati by welcoming the collective New Downbeat, who will perform an hour-long set for patrons of The Loon!
ABOUT SOME OF THE PERFORMERS
New Downbeat is a new music collective featuring women musicians who perform works
exclusively by living composers. Founded in 2019 by bassoonist Caroline Sackleh, New
Downbeat began as a group of likeminded, classically trained musicians and composers
who wanted more - to create performance opportunities that celebrate women’s
musicianship and to collaborate with living composers to create something special,
together.
By nature of their mission, they actively work with musicians and living composers in
everything they do, prioritizing those at the intersection of race and gender. Through their
work, they have come to collaborate with organizations including New Music Gathering,
Hear Us, Hear Them, Lives United/Vidas Unidas, and University of Cincinnati College-
Conservatory of Music; with many more promising partnerships being planned for the
future.
Since its inaugural concert in 2019, New Downbeat has commissioned, collaborated on, and
performed over 40 new music premieres written by their Composers in Residence. Other
programming includes concerts dedicated to living composers from around the world, and
a virtual International Women’s Day commission each season.
Currently, New Downbeat’s roster includes 26 musicians, 6 composers, and is administered by Director Caroline Sackleh and Associate Directors Alexis Shambley and Julianna Eidle.
--------------------------------------------------
Richard Goering delivers beautiful classical and funky fingerstyle guitar with equal mastery. His improvisations and arrangements of jazz standards and popular tunes engage and captivate. During a 35 year career, Richard Goering has performed with orchestras and chamber groups, and with classical and popular vocalists on concert series in the U.S., Spain and Italy. An accomplished arranger and improviser, his playing prompted one Louisville Courier-Journal critic to write, “The guitar is for our time but it is also for all time.”
In addition to his solo work, Richard is an enthusiastic collaborator with numerous exciting side projects. As the Alegria Duo, Richard and flutist Suzanne Bona perform music from Baroque to Latin for concert series in Ohio, Ky., Ind., Vt. and N.Y. Soprano Audrey Luna and Richard perform Spanish and South American music as, simply, Alegria. As part of the Levassor Duo (with violist Steve Rosen), he has recorded two CDs and performs extensively playing their arrangements of everything from Jewish melodies to Telemann to DeFalla.
