French for the “madness of two,” Folie à deux explores musical partner- ship through six striking duos for violin, viola, cello, and marimba. Moving through every two-part permutation of the ensemble’s four instruments, this program reveals how intimacy, tension, vulnerability, and joy emerge when two voices come together.


Curated by Rafael Popper-Keizer

Musical Program:

Akshaya Avril Tucker: Breathing Sunlight for violin & cello

Fabian Otten: L’Assillo for violin & marimba

Paul Wiancko: American Haiku for viola & cello

Caroline Shaw: Limestone and Felt for viola & marimba

Krzysztof Penderecki: Ciaccona for violin & viola

Osvaldo Golijov: Mariel for cello & marimba


Vibrant works by contemporary composers range from the shimmering stillness of Akshaya Avril Tucker’s Breathing Sunlight to the mournful echoes of Osvaldo Golijov’s Mariel; from the playful textures of Caroline Shaw’s Limestone and Felt to the profound gravity of Penderecki’s Ciaccona. Together, they form a kaleidoscopic meditation on memory, identity, and the power of shared experience.
