Emily and Colleen in residence at Maine music festival, July 2012

Emily and Colleen have both been selected for artists’ fellowships this summer at the Atlantic Music Festival in Wateville, ME. This young music festival strongly focuses on chamber music and the performance of new pieces by composers in residence at the festival each summer. We are eagerly looking forward to our time there, as (obviously) both chamber music and new music are causes near and dear to our hearts as apple orange pair! (And while we are excited about giving performances of AOP commissions while there, we also anticipate playing wonderful chamber music with new colleagues. Think Debussy’s Danses, harp fans, or perhaps the Brahms Horn Trio…)

A fun concert last night

Thanks to everyone who came to our new music concert yesterday! We so enjoyed getting to share some of this “less traditional” music with you. As stated at the concert, it really is vitally important that performers of “classical” music perform music written recently rather than only pieces from the quickly-becoming-ancient past. We are thrilled as a chamber group to be an active agent in promoting new music in many different styles, commissioning and performing brand-new music for harp and horn.

More details to come on our website about future commissions by Apple Orange Pair. We’ll also have some audio and video up soon on our FB page from our concert last night.

In the meantime, enjoy this “action shot” of us from last night’s concert!
