Charles Yang, violin/vocals + Peter Dugan, piano

“a classical-meets-rockstar duo” —The Wall Street Journal

Back at Cliburn Sessions by popular demand! Violinist Charles Yang and pianist Peter Dugan have each performed around the world as soloists with major orchestras, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and the San Francisco Symphony, and at prestigious venues like Carnegie Hall and The Kennedy Center. Charles has graced the Cliburn stage as a member of the genre-bending, Grammy®-winning trio Time for Three; Peter is on the inaugural roster of the Cliburn Agency and is heard on radios nationwide weekly as host of NPR’s From the Top. Together as a duo, they perform original compositions and blend classical virtuosity, jazz harmonies, and contemporary soul in their arrangements of songs by artists ranging from The Beatles to Sam Cooke to Ariana Grande.
