Departure Duo (Nina Guo, soprano, and Edward Kass, double bass) presents a radical program of new works for soprano and double bass. In a program that pushes their high-low combination through the Looking Glass, Departure Duo invites listeners to a world where voice and instrument become one sonic body, sound off on a proto-language, and follow gargoyles on a PM walk.
