Castelnuovo-Tedesco/ Murasaki Duo - Duo Virtuoso

Praised by the New York Concert Review as having "an easy virtuosity" and demonstrating "an unusually high level of ensemble playing" in their recent Carnegie Hall appearance, Duo Virtuoso - cellist Eric Kutz and Miko Kominami - has been enchanting audiences with their stylish and vivacious playing since 1996. The duo serves as Ensemble-in Residence at Iowa's Luther College, where both are professors. Their varied and delightful program includes lighthearted bonbons, earthy Latin flavors, and Johannes Brahms' timeless masterpiece: the darkly ruminative and complex Cello Sonata No.1 in e.
