The Swedish guitarist and composer Johannes Möller has captivated audiences throughout the world with charismatic and soulful performances. After playing his first public concerts at the age of 13, his performances now total over 500 and span Europe, Asia, South and North America. In 2010 he was awarded first prize in the GFA Concert Artist Competition, considered by many to be the most prestigious guitar competition in the world, resulting in a 50-concert tour and a recording with the Naxos label.

Johannes Moller

As a performer, Johannes’s artistry has reached well beyond the usual guitar circles. This was confirmed in 2008 when he won the Dutch Vriendenkrans Concours where he was competing against performers in all instrumental categories. As a part of this award his name has been engraved on a metal plate that can be seen in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Critics have also noted his special qualities, writing of his playing “Guitarist Johannes Möller achieved miracles with his lucid, spacious playing” (London Evening Standard).

Artspree 2011-12Monday, March 13, 2012 in the Stella Boyle Concert Hall on the campus of UALR.

The riveting performances of the Caswell Sisters, vocalist Rachel and violinist Sara, are the culmination of years of working together. Their seamless sound combined with their unique interpretation of repertoire ranging from the “Great American Songbook” to contemporary jazz, including their own compositions, is propelled by arresting improvisation. Rachel and Sara co-­lead the Caswell Sisters Quintet and have recently recorded a CD project with acclaimed jazz pianist Fred Hersch. Notable appearances include a week long After-Hours engagement at Dizzy’s Club at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City and an enthusiastically-received set on the opening night concert of the inaugural Jazz Education Network (JEN) Conference in 2010.

Although Rachel and Sara have shared a musical partnership since childhood, their development and experience as individual artists play an equally important role. Rachel often collaborates with bassist Jeremy Allen, their duo having been selected to perform at the 2006 International Association for Jazz Education’s Annual Conference in New York. She has performed with The Glenn Miller Orchestra, John Blake, Jr., Ingrid Jensen, the Billy Taylor Trio and Curtis Fuller. In addition to winning the Hilton Head Jazz Society Scholarship and placing in the top ten of 150 contestants in the jazzconnect.com 2005 vocal competition, Rachel has wonmany awards and first-place prizes as a classical cellist and jazz musician. Her debut CD Some Other Time has received excellent reviews.
