Charles Wadsworth and Friends

Paula Robison, flute
Romero Lubambo, guitar
Cyro Baptista, percussion

Charles Wadsworth's career began as a piano accompanist, which resulted in his associations with many top singers and instrumentalists. Besides being celebrated for establishing the Spoletto Festivals in Italy and Charleston, he is perhaps best known as the founder of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, which he ran from 1969 to 1989. He has been applauded and honored in dozens of nations, and his "friends" are world famous musicians. His wit and charm underline his artistry.

Paula Robison, flutePaula Robison's elegant artistry and passionate intellect have inspired the musical world. Born to a family of writers, actors, dancers, and musicians, her groundbreaking performances have made her a role model for young flutists everywhere. Ms. Robison's playing spans a strikingly diverse repertoire and she has commissioned well over 30 works for flute. Beyond the concert stage, Ms. Robison is renowned for her master classes, original transcriptions, and books on the art of flute playing.

"What I love about Brazilian music is its combination of relaxation and high intensity. It is very evocative. It brings up longings you've had your whole life." — Paula Robison

Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1955, Romero Lubambo studied classical piano and music theory as a young boy. From the time he played his first notes on the guitar at age thirteen, he devoted himself to that instrument. Lubambo graduated from the Villa-Lobos School of Music in Rio in 1978, and outstanding student of classical guitar; and, in 1980, received a degree in mechanical engineering from the Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Rio de Janeiro.

Since arriving in the U.S. in 1980 form his native country Brazil, Cyro Baptista has emerged as one of the premier percussionists in this country. Coinciding with the rise in the public's interest of world music, Cyro has managed to record and tour with some of music's most popular names. His mastery of Brazilian percussion and the many instruments he creates himself, have catapulted him into world renown.
