Princes of Serendip
website
". . . absolute delight of ageless entertainment . . . a masterfully
entertaining talent. Bravo." Gary Alexander, Woodstock Times
"A transcendental, magical, spiritual evening . . . a perfect
marriage of word and song." Sam Rand, Berkshire Record
"With a beguiling and mischievous understanding of all things
mythical and musical, an evening with The Princes Of Serendip is
equal parts chamber recital, story hour, and poetry reading.
Coalescing Old World balladry with mountain folk, Celtic swing with
Vivaldian flourish, these baroque pranksters entrance their
audience, creating entirely new worlds of child-like, though adult
themed, wonder. Sprung from the vivid imaginings and lyrical weaving
of songwriter/violinist/vocalist and possible past life court jester
T. G. Vanini, fellow Princes, Don Yacullo (piano) and Julie Parisi
Kirby (vocals), create in harmonious tandem the full palette upon
which Vanini tells his tales . . . the audience responded
energetically to each performance . . . The Princes Of Serendip
prove, both onstage and on their recordings, that imagination, and a
fearless originality, go a long, long, way." Mike Jurkovic, Rhythm
and News
" . . . the animate resonance of musicianship illuminating their
eclectic, whimsical repertoire exposed the royalty of their ensemble
from the first set." Kitty Montgomery, Kingston Daily Freeman
