A Musical Duologue
Lindsay Braga (violin/piano) and Andrew Gillett (violin/viola/piano) are presenting a duet concert.
Through speech and strings they present duets by Bach, Mozart, Martinu, Brydern and others. They show how two is better than one and how the duet forms the basis of dialogue and interaction in chamber music.
This is an opportunity for them to share the heart of their ongoing musical exploration.
