The Baltimore Classical Guitar Society

Young Talent Concert

A dedicated new voice in the contemporary music world, ChromaDuo is vigorously developing and presenting some of today's most evocative, lyrical, and exhilarating music. With two classical guitars, Tracy Anne Smith and Rob MacDonald unveil refreshing and innovative programs of new works by some of the most exciting composers of our time.

ChromaDuo has commissioned works from the incomparable Parisian Roland Dyens, irreverent British powerhouse Stephen Goss, emerging major American talent Christopher William Pierce, and CBC Award-winning Canadian composer Andrew Staniland. As soloists, they have performed in Canada, USA, Mexico, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, and England; as chamber musicians, they perform alongside CAGE Avant Garde Ensemble, soprano Jennifer Holbrook, Soundstreams, the Canadian Opera Company, and the Madawaska String Quartet.

The program will feature the world premiere of a new work for guitar duo by former Peabody student Christopher
William Pierce, commissioned by the Baltimore Classical Guitar Society as part of its “BCGS Composition
Commission Award.”
