They commissioned artist Mercedes Soriano to take a time lapse video of them while painting to one of their improvisations, and the duo will project this video while they perform live to it, adding a captivating visual component. The duo will perform a 45 minute concert followed by a 10-15 minute question and answer portion. This is a free community concert, and we hope to see you there.
