For twenty-three years through live performances and acclaimed recordings, violinist Nancy Dahn and pianist Timothy Steeves have built an international career in the Canadian chamber ensemble Duo Concertante. Their name comes from the inscription over Beethoven’s “Kreutzer” sonata, “in stilo molto concertante,” which implies the two performers are equal, dynamic voices. This defines their unique artistic relationship and the “deeply integrated performances that flow naturally as if the music were being created on the spot” (Gramophone). Outstanding musicians, champions of new Canadian music, visionary artistic directors, and inspiring mentors, Duo Concertante have forged a musical legacy and strive to provoke thought and engagement through music in innovative ways. After their first concert in 1997, the Halifax Chronicle-Herald called Duo Concertante “two packages of musical dynamite that would credit any stage on the planet.” Since then, they have performed in more than 600 concerts across North America, in Europe, Central America and China. • “Grace and fire…fury and repose…a triumphant mass of non-stop energy” – Whole Note • “Majesty, passion and excitement. Inspiring!” – Weiner Zeitung (Vienna) • “Splendid… deeply integrated performances that flow naturally as if the music were being created on the spot” – Gramophone • “Artistry, poetry, and impeccable technique” – La Scena Musicale
