HVCC Concert Series Concludes with Fuego Sonoro

November 22, 2022

Newly-formed group features veteran local musicians.

A live concert by Fuego Sonoro (sound fire) will close out a Fall 2022 concert series at Hudson Valley Community College that featured an eclectic mix of musical genres. The final concert will be held at noon on Thursday, Dec. 1, in the Bulmer Telecommunications Center Auditorium on the Troy campus. The hour-long event is open free to the public; no reservations or tickets are required to attend.

A newly-formed group, Fuego Sonoro features four well-known local musicians who teamed up to present the early sounds of Latin America, from Brazilian choros (sometimes called Brazilian ragtime), rhumbas and calypsos from the Caribbean islands, to the classic bossa novas of bygone eras.

The group is Jonathan Greene (clarinet), Jon Suters (guitar), Jason Ennis (guitar) and Brian Melick (percussion), all multi-talented and in-demand musicians. The four spice up a beautiful blend of melodies and percolating rhythms with inspired improvisation to create a sound that is fresh and classic at the same time.
