First UU’s resident arts group Unwound Sound is proud to present Boston’s Duo Amie on Friday, April 19th at 8 p.m. in our Sanctuary. Duo Amie will perform “In Her Own Key: a Celebration of Cello & Piano Works by Women, and a freewill offering will benefit the organization Black Mamas.”

 

Ellyses Kuan and Julie Reimann

 

Praised for their “brilliant virtuosity and evocative musicality”, Duo Amie (Julie Reimann, cello and Ellyses Kuan, piano) is a Boston-based cello/piano duo with an active performing schedule and online presence, dedicated to inspiring and bringing diverse people together with thematic musical programs that capture the imagination through musical expression and visual elements. They will perform a program of pieces titled ‘In Her Own Key’ on Friday, April 19th as part of our Unwound Sound Series, celebrating pioneering female visionaries Fanny Mendelssohn Hensel, Clara Schumann, Amy Beach, Rebecca Clarke and Florence Price.

 

The program, which includes Beach’s beautiful ‘Romance’ and Price’s virtuosic ‘Fantasie in g minor’, will be interspersed by commentary on the pieces as well as visual art. Reimann and Kuan are world-class trained musicians who have performed nationally and internationally. They founded Duo Amie in 2015 to bring people together through the beauty and universality of music. Equally at home in classical, contemporary, and popular music forms, Duo Amie has been praised for its virtuosity, expressivity, and engaging presence.
