Folias Duo with Olivia and Michael at Aquinas College

Folias Duo with Olivia and Michael at Aquinas College

This October we’re teaming up with two of our favorite musical collaborators, vocalist Olivia Vargas and guitarist Michael Pierce. We’ll feature original works and arrangements for this intimate quartet of voice, flute, and two guitars. The concert explores various classical, jazz, and tango combinations with a new take on the Folias Duo repertoire combined with songs from Olivia and Michael’s band August.

“We’ve combined with Olivia and Michael separately for some reworkings of our music, and this will be the first time with all four of us together,” Maret says, “we’re really excited about the combined sound of all our musical interests and abilities for this concert!”
