For the first time, Boston Court reimagines its summer music series as a weeklong festival, featuring collaborations from some of LA's most exciting contemporary performers. DuoFest celebrates collaboration in unexpected and adventurous ways, like only Boston Court can.

Potential Energy, featuring Autoduplicity (Rachel Beetz, flute & Jennifer Bewerse, cello) and Aperture Duo (Adrianne Pope, violin & Linnea Powell, viola), is an exploration of stimulating dualities with works by Christian Wolff, Kaija Saariaho, Kurt Isaacson, Catherine Lamb, Andrew Tholl, and Natacha Diels/Jessie Marino. The program also includes the world premiere of Jason Barabba’s micro-opera, Any Excuse Will Serve A Tyrant, pairing together soprano, Justine Aronson, and baritone, Scott Graff.
