Known for their sensitive performance of chamber music, Kathleen McDonald, flute, and Pasquale Bianculli,guitar, have been playing music together since 1977. They met while students at Stony Brook University in New York. As a duo, they have toured throughout Canada, Europe, the Caribbean and the U.S. Among their concerts have been appearances at New York’s Weill Recital Hall, Merkin Concert Hall, and Lincoln Center Library for the Performing Arts. Other concerts include De Doelen in Rotterdam, the World Trade Center Curaçao in Willemstad, King’s House in Kingston, Jamaica, TheaterForum Kreutzberg in Berlin and the Grand Canyon Lodge in Arizona.
They toured Europe in 1998 performing in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and France. The duo had the honor of playing music for a 1978 New York master class by the legendary mime artist, Marcel Marceau. He improvised a sketch to their music on the spot and applauded the duo.
In 1990, they taught at the Jamaica School of Music in Kingston, Jamaica W.I., and performed throughout the island in schools, churches, hotels and on radio and TV as part of a government sponsored program. Kathy and Pat, along with Harris Becker, began a music festival in rural Quèbec, Midsummer Music Dream/Songe d’été en musique In 2005. The festival brings together Canadian and American musicians for a festival of concerts, workshops and private instruction in one of the most beautiful and bucolic settings in the Eastern Townships of Quèbec.
Kathy and Pat live in Brooklyn Heights, NY where they continue to enrich the community with their music. Kathy directs “Baroque Across the River”, an early music ensemble that plays concerts in historical settings in Brooklyn and around the New York region. She is a student of Samuel Baron and Sandra Miller and has performed in master classes with Marcel Moyse in Vermont. Pat is Adjunct Professor of Guitar at Long Island University, C.W. Post Campus and Guitar Instructor at the United Nations International School. His teachers include Jerry Willard, Edgard Dana, Joseph Cassano and Billy Bauer.
Hill of Slane is the duo’s first CD. It was recorded and edited by John Kilgore at John Kilgore Sound & Recording and mastered at Candlewood Digital LLC by Richard Price.
