Old Town Hall Performance Series: Kobayashi/Gray Duo

Next date: Friday, February 26, 2027 | 08:00 PM to 09:30 PM

The Kobayashi/Gray Duo made their international concert debut as winners of the prestigious United States Information Agency Artistic Ambassador auditions, touring South America and the West Indies. "The Duo's skill, energy and love they have for the music were all evident in this performance which brought the audience to its feet demanding an encore!"  They have toured throughout the country of Thailand; the Western and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa, and South America and the West Indies. In addition, the Duo has presented lecture recitals both in person and live virtually at six international music conferences held in Bangor, Wales; London, England and Stavanger, Norway as well as numerous music conferences throughout the United States. Notable US performance venues include the Dame Myra Hess Series and radio broadcast at the Chicago Cultural Center, at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. and several museum series--the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha, Nebraska, the Detroit Institute of Arts, and the Toledo Art Museum.

 

The Duo is in demand throughout the world for their skillful presentations of the standard repertoire as well as their specialty of the works of more than twenty-five 19th to 21st century women composers. The Duo has three CDs of works by women composers on the Albany Records (Parma Recordings) label. Sixteen of these recorded works are world premiere recordings, including Grande Sonate, Op. 8 by 19th century French composer Marie Grandval, which the Duo edited for Hildegard Publishing Company.
