Performing extensively throughout the Northeast, we are known for our unique blend and varied programming. We are passionate about presenting thoughtful, educational and eclectic concerts, making the song recital experience memorable and meaningful. In addition to A Quiet Christmas, our other duet programs include Songs of Love and Flirtation and With a Song in Our Hearts, and An Ocean Apart: British and American Duets. Adding storytelling and poetry, we have created Fly Home Little Heart, a theatrical presentation featuring original arrangements of music from Mozart to Gershwin, from folk tune to show tune. We have also created a special performance of Pergolesi's Stabat Mater which includes liturgical readings appropriate for for the season of Lent and Good Friday.
