Andrea Hoag & Paul Oorts
In nearly 30 years together, fiddler Andrea Hoag and multi-instrumentalist Paul Oorts have followed their musical curiosity, from old-time Appalachian tunes and bluegrass to Sweden, Belgium, France, Ireland, tangos, English country dance, Brazilian music, and many places in between. Paul plays harp guitar and the chromatic button accordion of his native Belgium, sings songs in Flemish and French, and is much in demand as accompanist and lead player. Andrea has been recognized for her deep knowledge of Swedish traditional fiddling with a Grammy nomination and two master/apprentice grants, and is known for her versatility and harmony playing in many styles. An evening with Paul and Andrea ranges from the sublime to the hilarious. Deft arrangements are spiced with funny songs and enlightening stories, and the repertoire includes originals as well as traditional tunes.

Trina Basu & Arun Ramamurthy
Basu and Ramamurthy are deeply rooted in traditions of South Indian classical music, Western chamber music, and jazz, uniquely positioning them to create a sound that feels ancient, orchestral, and contemporary or as The New Yorker put it, “free-flowing and globe-spanning.” Through the duo’s grounding in tradition paired with their fluency in improvisation, their compositions have a clear architecture, which allows space for their two violins to be deliciously indiscernible while shining individually. Basu says of the duo’s collaboration, “Our hope for our music is to be a meeting point for the tradition of South Indian classical music—raga music—that Arun comes from and Western classical music and creative improvisation that I come from, and bring these pieces together in a way that creates a sound that reflects who we are, a sound that reflects our multicultural background, and our experiences in this world.”
