SUMMARY:Don Ross & Julie Malia
DESCRIPTION:Join Beacon Ridge Productions for their next concert. \n\n\nhttps://donrossandjulemalischke.com/ \nDon Ross and Julie Malía\, both well-established solo performers\, have decided to form a new musical partnership. While continuing to play solo internationally\, Don and Julie have been performing many of their shows as a double bill since the fall of 2023. In 2024\, they gave 45 concert performances in Germany\, the UK\, Canada and the USA. They have continued the habit in 2025\, having toured together on both sides of the Atlantic. \nDon released his latest solo album\, WATER\, in 2023. It is his 18th solo album\, and his 21st including collaborations. For this new recording\, Don decided to launch a Kickstarter fundraising campaign and do the release 100% independently. The album features collaborations with legendary guitarist/songwriter Bruce Cockburn\, fretless bass wizard Michael Manring\, Washington State-based guitarist/composer Sean Hall\, singer/guitarist Brooke Miller\, Prince Edward Island-based quintet The Atlantic String Machine\, and even one piece with the 70-piece City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. \nDon Ross was born and raised in Montreal and has lived in various parts of Canada over the course of his life. The son of a Mi’kmaw Indigenous mother and a Scottish immigrant father\, he graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Music) degree from Toronto’s York University and started working full-time as a musician in 1988. That year he won the US National Fingerpick Guitar Championship for the first time. \nDuring the Covid-19 pandemic\, Don went back to university\, completing a Master of Arts degree in Orchestration through the University of Chichester (UK) and graduating in early 2021. He immediately started working extensively in the world of scoring orchestral and electronic music for video games\, films and television. \nIn addition to his solo performances and recordings\, Don also heads his quartet Don Ross Louder Than Usual\, which focuses on his more jazz-leaning repertoire. \nIn 2021\, Don won the prestigious Walter Carsen Prize for Excellence in the Performing Arts\, administered by the Canada Council for the Arts. \nJulie Malía is a highly talented guitarist\, singer and songwriter who has made a name for herself in recent years with great compositions and impressive appearance festivals. Originally from Swabia in southern Germany\, she also works as a lecturer at the Carl Maria von Weber Music University in Dresden\, Germany. \nJulie is one of the most sought-after soloists on the European acoustic scene. Her repertoire covers an impressively broad musical spectrum – from self-penned heartfelt songs\, very original song-cover arrangements\, and various virtuoso styles on the classical guitar through to modern fingerstyle arrangements. There are few musicians who can boast such mastery of all these related but very different genres. \n​Julie is known for her vibrant personality\, great sense of humor\, her wonderful voice and the virtuosity of her guitar playing. She has captivated audiences across Europe in her appearances at many of the most important festivals. \nJulie recently released her new CD\, Seagull \, featuring her original songs and her stunning guitar playing. The recording was nominated for the prestigious German Record Critics’ Prize in July 2024. \n\n\nTickets are available through Beacon Ridge Productions.
