Tuesday, November 3, 2026, 7:30 PM, Carrie Frey | Departure Duo

Violist Carrie Frey performs contemplative, hypnotic recent works for singing violist by Ihlara McIndoe, Cassandra Miller, and herself.

Departure Duo (Nina Guo, soprano, and Edward Kass, double bass) presents a radical set of new works for soprano and double bass. With recent commissions that push their high-low combination through the looking glass, Departure Duo invites listeners to a world where voice and instrument become one sonic body, sound off on a proto-language, and enter the mind of one of Shakespeare’s most devious characters.

“Five Ghosts of a Dead Language” – Andrew Watts
“Inner Thoughts of a Fiendish Queen” – Marti Epstein
“Mouthpiece 43” – Erin Gee
“postlude (how to become rock)” – Katherine Balch

Bring open ears to explore the extremities of soprano and double bass with us. https://www.departureduo.com/
