Mr. Gomes and Ms. Su have a collaborative relationship that evolved into Duo Sorolla, which celebrates its tenth season this year. The Duo has performed a wide range of music including most of the standard repertoire for cello and piano, as well as lesser known music. Duo Sorolla has commissioned and premiered works from William Weigel and Aaron Malone. They have also championed the works of Lera Auerbach, George Walker, and Aaron Jay Kernis, and other living composers

Mainstay favorite and virtuoso pianist Dick Durham returns with some of his favorite musical compatriots in tow. Whatever the surprises this musical magician pulls out of his hat, this will be a wonderful evening of jazz, from solos to ensemble numbers played with virtuosity, emotion and humor.
These wonderful musicians will provide an evening of exquisite instrumental jazz, full of the beauty of the American Song Book. Dick will be joined by Amy Shook on bass, Jaron Davis on drums, and Blake Cramer on the vibraphone

Allison Degroot and Tatiana Hargreaves’s impressive musicianship is a reflection on voices we seek to hear as we explore the expansive, diverse canon of American roots music. Allison de Groot combines love for old-time music, technical skill and a creative approach to the banjo forming her own sound – unique and full of personality. Tatiana Hargreaves has been on the forefront of an up and coming generation of old time, bluegrass and new acoustic musicians. They show a musical fluency that flows between old time and bluegrass worlds with ease.
