Fareed Haque & Goran Ivanovic, Guitars
They’re back to open our Season 4 events with the fantastic energy, 1000s of notes, and pure musical joy that only these two guitarists can bring! They are always a Rendezvous Arts favorite!
Inspired by the rhythms and melodies of flamenco, jazz, classical, rock, and the Balkan region, this performance features the unrivaled guitar artistry of two of the finest players of their respective generations. Their music is carefully balanced between blazing virtuosity and sheer beauty. Together, Goran Ivanovic and Fareed Haque recorded three CDs–Macedonian Blues, 7 Boats, and IndoBalkan–to great critical acclaim, even getting the nod as the top best acoustic guitar albums in 2004 from Acoustic Guitar magazine.
They have sold out Rendezvous Arts performances in the past —you’ll want to see why!!! Please enjoy this video from their Rendezvous Arts performance during our Season 2 events!
Liquid Mosaic
Art by Inna and Alex Deriy
Husband and wife team Alex and Inna Deriy of Liquid Mosaic bring a unique painting style that is as colorful and fluid as the music of this event. Inna is originally from the southwestern part of Siberia. She was born in a family of geologists and from the first days of her life was surrounded by the romanticism of scientific expeditions and the beauty of Siberian nature.
Inna graduated from one of the most prestigious art schools in the region in the mid-90s and tried herself in graphic design and jewelry making, participating in multiple projects and exhibitions. In 2004 Inna relocated to the USA and married Alex Deriy, an engineer by day and artist and musician by night.
Moving away from home and traditional oil and pastels Inna joined her creative forces with her husband Alex. They started developing a new technique of painting with pigmented polymers and tried applying it to stone, glass, canvas, and wood. The stained glass look of her newly developed works slightly resembles warm and earthy collages made of natural stones that Inna's parents used to bring back from their geological expeditions. The natural beauty of minerals has always been the couple's main inspiration.
