NEWS: Duo Concertante is awarded the Newfoundland and Labrador Arts Council 2009 Artist of the Year Award (CBC Newfoundland and Labrador)


Known for the passion and brilliance of their performances, Duo Concertante (Nancy Dahn, violin, and Timothy Steeves, piano) have been developing since 1997 the extraordinarily unified voice that has become one of the most striking features of their work. Named NLAC Artist of the Year in May 2010, Duo Concertante have released four acclaimed CDs, of which the most recent, It Takes Two, was described as “spectacular” (American Record Guide). A fifth recording, forthcoming in the fall of 2010, comprises works written especially for the duo by Canadian composers Murray Schafer, Chan Ka Nin, and Kati Agócs, including Schafer’s only major work for violin and piano. Also slated for a fall 2010 release is their classical music video, “Tico Tico,” shot for Bravo! TV. Dahn and Steeves are energetic and experienced educators who have given hundreds of workshops and master classes; in 2000, they founded the Tuckamore Chamber Music Festival, of which they remain Artistic Directors, to bring together young chamber music performers with world-class artists and ensembles. Duo Concertante maintain a busy touring schedule, with frequent performances across North America, as well as in Europe and China.
