Classical Series / Live at Timucua: The classical Muse Duo was founded at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. The two artists who comprise the duo are award-winning guitarist Collin Holloway and pianist and composer Luke Benedict.

The duo will be joined by vocalist Sydney Carbo, a soprano who received her Masters in Vocal Performance in 2021.

A unique vocal program featuring text by the famed poet Garcia Lorca presented in past and modern pieces. Combined with the timelessness of Romantic Lied, this program aims to bring Spanish and Romantic literature to life through modern programming.

This programming will feature the collaboration of three distinct artists, namely soprano Sydney Carbo, guitarist Collin Holloway, and pianist/composer Luke Benedict. The pieces will utilize the talents of each artist in combination; soprano/guitar, soprano/piano, and soprano/guitar/piano.

Alongside the repertoire, there will be a newly commissioned work by the composer Luke Benedict that implements the text of Garcia Lorca and is written for soprano, guitar, and piano. This will be the centerpiece of the program, highlighting the modern ensemble.

Through Spanish and Romantic vocal repertoire, a unique setting of instruments, and a premiere composition written specifically for the ensemble, this is a rare and engaging modern program that adds to the canon of vocal and chamber repertoire. 

Personnel:

Sydney Carbo, Soprano
Collin Holloway, Guitar
