This is not your typical St. Valentine’s concert. Our partnership began with Lieder, drawing us away from our home of British Columbia, Canada to pursue studies in Germany. Through the veil of an unfamiliar language and culture, we felt the pull of home, and a wish to express our feelings of connection to each other and our shared geography through music.
These song cycles reflect the quarter century we have spent together on and off the stage. They tell a story of a complicated, messy, lasting and wonderful collaboration, through the incredible music of Beethoven, Habibi, Morelock, and Ryan and the inspiring poetry of Zwicky, Ashton, Khayyãm, and Jeitteles.
