We continue to explore duo repertoire, or music written for two musicians. In this year's rendition of our ongoing "Paired" series, our Co-Directors have co-curated a program of song cycles that feature poetry by Gustav Pfleger-Morávsky, Wendell Berry, and Mary Oliver. Previously recorded in early 2022, we are excited to present this program live.
