About the Show
Renowned for their “telepathic communication,” (Tuxedo Revolt) harp combo Duo Scorpio makes its lone US appearance at National Sawdust on their album-release tour spanning the U.S., Canada, and Hong Kong. The performance will feature tracks from the album, titled Two Bridges, with commissioned works from composition legends Nico Muhly, Andy Akiho, and Paul Patterson.
The album will be released on the label American Modern Recordings.
Duo Scorpio is the combination of harpists Kathryn Andrews and Kristi Shade. Both harpists not only have the same Zodiac sign—you can guess which one—but also were born on precisely the same day: November 5, 1982. A rock-star group, Duo Scorpio is a winner of the Classical Recording Foundation Award and a recipient of four grants combined from both Chamber Music America and the American Harp Society.
