The best way to experience Peter Bufano's music is to hear it in the circus ring while acrobats tumble, aerialists fly, and animal trainers tame savage beasts. His three full length scores for circus have performed to thousands across the united states under the big top.
One can also hear beautifully recorded versions of his work on CD (order below) or downloaded from itunes
This isn't your fancy-schmancy Cirque du Soleil cabaret circus of pretentious mimes doing interpretive dance with zebras, this is in your face, hairy carnival barker, sledgehammer test of strength out front circus, the zany escapism that begat the idea of circus is present and under the spotlight in the center ring on Cirkestra. -C.D. Di Guardia, Performer Magazine
It has been many decades since American circus has recognized the importance of it's live music. In this recording, Peter Bufano and Cirkestra breathe life into one of our country's most important folk art traditions.
