Together, this dynamic string duo celebrate their eclectic musical tastes -- fiery flamenco, classical, Latin, roots and bluegrass -- to create a vibrant, rich and refreshing sound. Their rhythmically driven repertoire takes the listener on a journey of traditional classics, innovative arrangements, and stunning original compositions. Outside of the performance realm, both Sten and Maria are music educators- Sten is a member of the faculty at Schenectady County Community College and oversees an outstanding undergraduate music studies and Audio Production program. Maria is on the faculty of Hudson Valley Community College in the Department of Fine Arts, Theater Arts, and Digital Media. Listening to their music, one might think they hail from a European or South American classical music hub such as Barcelona, Spain or Buenos Aires, Argentina. Yet Sten and Maria are both local to the Capital Region of New York state. Their prowess and virtuosity truly display how music transcends time and locations. So enjoy, Sten & Maria Z featuring Sten Isachsen on classical guitar and mandolin and Maria Zemantauski on classical guitar- recorded Live at the Linda on October 18, 2019.
