"I absolutely love my Weber
Bridger for the classical, European and South American music that I
perform.
- Mark Levesque -
"It's a perfect musical marriage. A rich, zesty
guitar gumbo, Handler & Levesque crackle with tasty elements of
classical, swing, Gypsy, Brazilian and a dizzying array of world-music
flavorings."
wrote Owen McNally, music critic for a Hartford Courant Feature Story.
Judy and Mark create an exciting, unique sound by
successfully blending many musical influences including Brazilian,
Latin, swing, gypsy, European and classical. They have performed
together for 12 years throughout the Northeast and regularly receive
standing ovations for their energetic and uplifting performances.
Some of their recent performances include the
International Festival of Arts and Ideas in New Haven CT, Studio 450 in
New York City, The Chateaugay Lakes Arts Association in upstate New
York, The Autorino Great Hall at the Bushnell in Hartford CT, The Troy
Music Hall in NY, The University of Connecticut, The American Mandolin &
Guitar Summer Program at Roger Williams College in Rhode Island, The
Quechee Club in VT and the Brooklyn Museum.
In 2003 Judy and Mark released an exhilarating
live concert recording with bass & drums called Two Guitars Live!
Their 2001 release, Acoustic Blend
received international acclaim, and was chosen by the Greater Hartford
Arts Council as a premier gift for donors to their United Arts Campaign
for 2003.
The Greater Hartford Arts Council also selected their recordings of "Tico
Tico" and "Brasileirinho" to be used as sountracks for promotional
CD-ROMs.
Judy and Mark are also on 5 compilation CDs of New England guitarists as
well as an international virtual CD, Prelude.
They are on the roster of artists for Cantaloupe Music
Productions in New York City, New England Foundation for the Arts, the
