PRESENTS
an evening of harp with Duo Scorpio
Duo Scorpio is a New York City based harp duo on a mission to expand the duo harp repertoire by commissioning new works and arranging existing repertoire. In 2011, the duo began searching for music for their newly formed ensemble and realized this particular part of the harp repertoire had yet to be fully explored in a contemporary setting.
Duo Scorpio was recently awarded the American Harp Society Grant which they have used to commission composer Robert Paterson. His work, “Scorpion Tales” will be premiered by Duo Scorpio at the AHS National Conference in New York City July 2012.
Duo Scorpio has performed with Florence + The Machine at the Met Gala, for Metro Harp New York and has performed together orchestrally in Carnegie Hall and Alice Tully Hall.
Coincidentally, Katie and Kristi were both born on November 5, 1982. They met in New York City where they received their Master’s degrees studying with Susan Jolles. They have embraced their Zodiac alignment by using their talent and passion to team up and form this unique duo.
The most determined sign in the zodiac, Scorpios love challenges and won't give up until they get the job done. They are passionate about the people and things they love and always give 100%. Extremely loyal, Scorpios value friends and family above all.
This will be Duo Scorpio's first performance at Tony Powe's speakeasy, 2nd Floor on Clinton.
