After a successful round of performances in the Atlantic Music Festival’s summer salon series, we returned to Connecticut in August to finish our demo recordings of our three 2012 commissions.

Less than a week later, Colleen and her husband moved to Bluefield, Virginia, in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.

Thus we begin our 2012-2013 season living 650 miles apart. The plan? Well, we are hard at work right now preparing our Kickstarter campaign to fund our first full-length recording. Our CD will feature some of our favorite commissions (five new pieces to date!) as well as a few pieces we have enjoyed performing together the past two years. We are looking forward to recording sessions starting in January 2013! We hope to release our album by May 2013.

In the meantime, we are busily booking concerts for May 2013, including venues in Virginia, DC, Pennsylvania, and New York.

Our Kickstarter campaign starts this Monday, October 22. Stay tuned for updates, or join our
email list for weekly updates as we prepare for our recording!

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…)
