Formed in  August 2018, my duo 2nd Ceremony has enjoyed upwards of 20 performances this Fall throughout the Baltimore area in the form of pop-up concerts at Libraries, house concerts, or performances at the Peabody Institute. All of our events are free, and we make audience engagement an important part of each program. Our goal is not only to bring a fresh perspective to popular pieces for this ensemble arrangement, but also to break down barriers and stigmas that classical music performances can sometimes bring. We want everyone to be able to engage and relate to the music, whether they know lots about music or nothing at all.
