Miolina presents the first ever Duologue Festival, celebrating NYC's best duos. The festival will take place over two evenings, on Thu Sept 28 and Fri Sept 29, 2023. Duologue will highlight original works, as well as new and recent works by living composers. The host venue is the Renee Weiler Concert Hall at Greenwich House Music School (46 Barrow St, NYC 10014). Accessible from the 1/A/B/C/D/E/F/M trains.
Included on this program: The violin duo String Noise (Pauline Kim Harris and Conrad Harris) will premiere Michael Hersch's a tearing loose from matter as part of the Duologue Festival. According to Hersch, the brief piece was prompted by "elusive ideas of compassion in difficult circumstances."
About Duo Kayo
Duo Kayo is the dynamic pairing of violist Edwin Kaplan and cellist Titilayo Ayangade, both star chamber musicians and veterans of esteemed string quartets (the Tesla and Thalea Quartets, respectively). The duo is on a mission to become a vessel for new and exciting music, which they have already shared with audiences across the country, as well as closer to home at Lincoln Center. Their expressive, richly harmonic programs creatively blend the classical with the contemporary.
