March 6, 2027 – Xenia Concerts and TO Live present: Duo Concertante!
Concert Description
For twenty-four years through live performances and acclaimed recordings, violinist Nancy Dahn and pianist Timothy Steeves have built an international career in the Canadian chamber ensemble Duo Concertante. Their name comes from the inscription over Beethoven’s “Kreutzer” Sonata, “in stilo molto concertante,” which implies the two performers are equal, dynamic voices. This defines their unique artistic relationship and the “deeply integrated performances that flow naturally as if the music were being created on the spot” (Gramophone). Outstanding musicians, champions of new Canadian music, visionary artistic directors, and inspiring mentors, Duo Concertante have forged a musical legacy and strive to provoke thought and engagement through music in innovative ways.
This is a rare opportunity to see these two stellar performers together on stage presented in a family-friendly style that embraces neurodiversity and disability. Therapy dogs will be present, provided by One Health Partners.
