Regional musician Alex Prizgintas will bring his program “From Bach to Rock” to the Ellenville Public Library and Museum. In addition to performing the cello in its traditional form, Alex employs an assortment of guitar pedals to generate altered tones. Some of these pedals include the distortion, delay, the iconic “wah-wah” pedal (symbolic of 1960s rock bands), all in conjunction with his Boss RC-300 looping station. Combined with a historical narrative that traces the history of baroque-era composers, jazz artists, and Rock n’ Roll bands, Alex immerses his audience in a journey through musical history with there aid of his cello. “Alex Prizgintas offered this terrific concert at the Newburgh Free Library in June of last year” says Christopher Morgan, head of programming at the Newburgh Free Library. “In addition to being an extremely talented performer, Alex also was very engaging and held the attention of a large outdoor crowd. Our audience included families with young children, teens, and seniors all of whom thoroughly enjoyed the performance and ambiance, and many of whom passed along their compliments afterward. We would book Alex again without hesitation!”
