The group is dedicated to the belief that music is a transformative tool best shared in informal, intimate settings resembling those of their historic musical heroes, from Bach to the present. They present events that they refer to as “revels,” in which audience members enjoy the music on a “first-name” basis. The group performs masterworks for duos and piano trio, and also arranges modern and popular works in a signature style that has become a mainstay of their repertoire. | |||
