UM School of Music presents guest artists Diagenesis Duo, featuring UM Alumnus Heather Barnes, soprano and collaborator Jennifer Bewerse, cello. Diagenesis was formed when Heather Barnes, soprano, and Jennifer Bewerse, cello, met in July 2010, during the soundSCAPE performance and composition exchange in Maccagno, Italy.  While walking between rehearsal locations and working together in a chamber ensemble, they formed a mutual artistic admiration and became fast friends.  They decided to form a duo that would specialize in performing new music for voice and cello—a relatively rare combination. Their mission is to bring high quality contemporary music to audiences of every shape, size, and background.

Admission: $12 General, $8 Students/Seniors
