A unique blend of folk, pop & jazz
"I'll Sing A Song For You", with 13 original songs by Peter Croton, has recently been released by Zah Zah (Guild)
digital downloads: itunes, classical shop
What music do we perform?
Our repertoire extends from traditional folk music, jazz standards and original songs, through music of the Baroque and Classical periods.
What "original songs" do we perform?
We perform a variety of songs written by Peter; his main influences are American folk music, jazz and blues, as well as European Baroque music. The texts are mostly self-written or are by Theresia or Langston Hughes.
Where have we performed together?
We have been performing together regularly since 2003, for example at major festivals (recently at the Rheingau Music Festival and at the Festival des Cordes Sensible), in concert halls, clubs, and churches.
Have we recorded together?
Our first duo CD, "Love Songs from Five centuries – from Baroque to Folk", is available from Centaur Records (USA). Our second duo CD "I'll sing a song for you", with 13 songs by Peter , has been released by Zah Zah (Guild) in February 2008.
What is our background?
We are both classically trained musicians who grew up singing and playing folk and popular music from our respective home countries. The similarities and differences in our backgrounds have helped us create an approach to performing this music that is at the same time universal and intensely personal. We believe that quality music has no borders, and can touch people of all ages and traditions.
