Naughty Professor’s Sam Shahin and Bill Daniel welcome you to a concert unlike any other. A genre-defying performance presented in two suites, one arranged by drummer/percussionist Sam Shahin and one by guitarist Bill Daniel, which takes the listener around the world and through time with sounds that range from classical to heavy metal, traditional folk to modern jazz, and so much more. The concert juxtaposes a string quartet with a rhythm quartet and features Radio Bird String Quartet, pianist Oscar Rossignoli, and bassist Calvin Morin-Martin to perform the world premier of original music and unique arrangements of Bartok, Beethoven, Fairuz, Ravel, Shostakovich, and more. The music creates a blend that is delicate yet powerful and will provide the listener with a thought-provoking experience that keeps their head bobbing to the beat.
