Passionate, Gypsy-Inspired Music featured at Clatsop Community College Summer Concert Series


Kim Angelis

The Gypsy Chamber Ensemble will perform at 3 p.m. Sunday, July 23 as the second performance of Clatsop Community College’s new Sunday afternoon summer concert series. This passionate, gypsy-inspired music of internationally acclaimed composer and violin virtuoso Kim Angelis, is accompanied by Joseph Gault on guitar and David Carlson on piano.

In the best of Gypsy fashion, Kim Angelis can change before your eyes. She has often been described as “transforming herself from a soft-spoken, modest and spiritual person into a wild creature of the violin with flying skirts and hair, a few broken bowstrings and stomping heels.” She is the composer and performer of an international range of pieces written for specific stories and, like Vivaldi, paints the story with surprising color and detail.

Angelis has enthralled concert audiences from Ancud, Chili to Alaska and overseas to Asia with her dazzling virtuosity and exuberant stage presence. She majored in music at the University of California, Irvine, graduating Magna Cum Laude.


Josef Gault

Accompanying Angelis on guitar is her husband, Josef Gault, “The Wild Hungarian.” Gault is a native of Michigan who has devoted himself to music since 1994. His flamenco-styled guitar artistry is inspired by such luminaries as Manitas de Plata and Sabicas. He is the host of the popular “All Kinds of Folk” radio program on KMUN/KTCB, Astoria, and is also the Technical Production Manager at Clatsop Community College.

David Carlson

Completing the trio is pianist David Carlson, a musician of considerable diversity. He has presented solo programs, appeared with symphony orchestras, chamber music groups, chorales, opera companies and accompanied both vocalists and instrumentalists. Some of his many associations have been with the Santa Barbara Civic Light Opera, the Delray Beach Chorale, Florida Atlantic University, Dallas County Community Colleges and the Palm Beach Opera.

Each one-hour concert in the summer series begins at 3 p.m. at the CCC Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $10 and are available at Bach & Rock, 339 12th Street, located downtown next to the Hotel Elliot.

Tickets are also on sale at the Performing Arts Center Box office one hour before performance.
