Cello and marimba - an unusual combination of instruments on paper. In practice, however, they form an intuitive and unexpected sonic world of timbre, colour and character that makes for an evocative and unique listening experience. Kathleen and Tim, two accomplished musicians committed to excellence and sharing music worth sharing, take this combination of instruments and the audience on a musical journey from the old and familiar (Bach) to sentimental (Golijov) to powerful rhythmic and technological feats (Akiho), in a program of bold and exciting music.
