Hailing from Canada’s East and West coasts, guitarist John Oliver and violinist Lynn Kuo combine to form Canada’s newest violin/guitar duo, Duo Vita.
Enthusiastically bringing life to the creations of great composers, Duo Vita challenges the violin/guitar repertoire through the exploration of contemporary sounds, new composers, and the combination of the past and present with the new and innovative.
“I am beyond thrilled by what you did with Dance Music. No wonder why it was a success--your performance was absolutely stunning! Every single interpretative choice you made is dead-on, musical, driven and created an exciting performance.”
David Smooke, composer of 'Dance Music' - Private message
“Your outstanding artistry and commitment, combined with your irresistible charm, made it a wonderful experience for all involved and I think it opened a door for many of the audience members into a whole new world of music.
”
Nina Draganic, Director of Programming, Canadian Opera Co. Noon Concert Series - Private message
“[Oliver's] composition for electronics, violin and guitar ["Am Bushed"] shows electronic sound can be very effective.
…I found that the violin playing of Lynn Kuo very expressive, her violin adding a vocal quality to the music. …Their music is also vital like the times we live in.”
