| Description: | Whether you choose to pronounce it kə-LY-ə-pee (kəˈlaɪ.əpi) as in the Greek mythological muse of eloquence, renowned for the beauty and harmoniousness of her voice, or KAL-ee-ohp (kælioʊp) as in the blustering 19th century musical instrument powered by steam or compressed air, this particular Calliope, combining flute and accordion, offer something of both! Their transcriptions of concerti by Bach, Vivaldi and Mozart give a quirky new slant on well known Classics, whilst the circus-like acrobatics of variation repertoire by Doppler, Paggi and contemporaries have surely only waited to be shaken up by the flute-accordion treatment! Having worked together as a flute and piano duo for many years, their search for something a bit more 'off the beaten musical track' led to Calliope in 2017. In the same year they made their debut at MOON in Ortigia and are looking forward to upcoming performances in The Midlands and Sussex in the 2018-19 season. |
