(Delaware and Chester Counties, PA • September 6, 2018)—Delaware County Community College’s New Music Concert Series kicks off the fall season with a performance by Byrne:Kozar:Duo on Sunday, September 16. The performance begins at 3 p.m. in the Large Auditorium of the Academic Building on the Marple Campus (901 South Media Line Road, Media, PA).

The Byrne:Kozar:Duo, comprised of Corrine Byrne and Andy Kozar, presents historically informed performances of Baroque music for natural trumpet and soprano in addition to commissioning new works for modern trumpet and soprano. Performing works by Rob Deemer, Reiko Füting, Paula Matthusen, David Smooke, Scott Wollschleger and Scott Worthington, they have been said to create “an arresting symbiosis in their melding of voice and trumpet timbres” (Textura) and that the “trumpet and voice seem to take on one another’s qualities” (Bandcamp Daily).  As individuals, Byrne has been called a “celebrated singer” (Broadway World) and “a rising star” (Arts Westchester) while Kozar has been called a “star soloist” (TimeOutNY) and “polished and dynamic, with very impressive playing” (Baltimore Sun).

Admission to the performance is $10 and tickets are available online or at the door. ADA Assistive Listening Devices, accessible seating and free parking are available. For more information, visit dccc.edu/concerts or contact Caitlin Flaherty, Supervisor of Arts Administration, at 610-359-5266.
