The one-of-a-kind guitar and piano duo, The Muse Duo, presents a dynamic and varied program bringing audiences through traditional classical repertoire, folk song, and modern chamber music written expressly for the Duo. Seminal composers such as Manuel de Falla, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, and Malcolm Arnold will be heard alongside new music by emerging composers Robert Luke Benedict and David Leach.
Biography
Originally formed at the Eastman School of Music, the Muse Duo brings a fresh voice to contemporary chamber music through the unique pairing of guitarist Collin Holloway and pianist-composer Luke Benedict. Just months after their first collaboration, the duo launched a U.S. tour and has since appeared at festivals and series including the Lynn New Music Festival, Off the Dock Chamber Festival, and the Shellpoint Young Artist Series.
Dedicated to expanding the repertoire, the duo performs primarily Luke’s original works—featured on their debut album, Experiments—which blend melodic clarity, neo-classical influence, and modern rhythmic flair. Through inventive collaborations and adventurous programming, the Muse Duo offers a dynamic new perspective on chamber music today.
