Mambo Jambo

Mambo Jambo is truly a royal pleasure…

…highlighting the diverse abilities of all our musical royalties and bringing music from different genres into action!

IGUDESMAN & JOO, dubbed by The Los Angeles Times as “the kings of classical music comedy” join forces with two queens of musical virtuosity to create a royal musical jam filled with fruity pieces, such as “Mambo” from Bernstein’s West Side Story. As well as music by Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninov, Chick Corea, Sting, Georg Kreisler, and IGUDESMAN  & JOO.

The dazzling queen of percussion Lucy Landymore, best known for her performances with Hans Zimmer, brings good vibes to the mix with her vibraphone and other exotic percussion instruments.

Yu Horiuchi, better known as the queen of the piano, brings in her incomparable soulful voice and art of acting, which even IGUDESMAN & JOO cannot resist.

Prior to our thanksgiving concert with the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, Music Director Manfred Honeck and the dynamic duo Igudesman and Joo, there was much scepticism within the organization as to how the orchestra and audience would react. However, our minds were put at ease the minute they arrived! They were incredibly professional, obviously very talented, and provided a breath of fresh air for the orchestra and PSO staff. It was such a joy to have them with us, and we received such great feedback from our patrons and the musicians that we immediately reinvited them to join us for a special concert with the orchestra the following year!

Since our first encounter with I&J in 2011, we (the musicians & staff of the Taiwan Philharmonic) had been longing for being part of the birth of the  “Scary Concert”.  From the perfect preparation of the music scores to the super efficient rehearsals, I&J not only inspired our musicians to be more creative in performances but also bounded them with our audience even tighter.  Right after the concerts, we received many inquires about when I&J will be back for another new project …. yes, from both orchestra musicians and audience.  The  Scary Concert is the healing concert for both audience and musicians in this stiflingly busy city life.

Joyce Chiou
Executive Director, Taiwan Philharmonic, the National Symphony Orchestra (NSO)

“What makes the slapstick duo so original is not that they turn classical music culture upside-down and inside out, but that they never mess with the music itself, treating that with not just respect, but with astonishing virtuosity.”

Dick O’Riordan
