Meet @reflections.duo !
Reflections Duo is a Boston-based new music duo with vocalist @emgwest and violist @its_a_blind_guess . Formed in the summer of 2025, Reflections began as a collaboration between friends to explore a shared passion of working with composers to create new and exciting explorations of sound, color, and text. The ensemble’s ever-growing repertoire is curated to showcase a wide array of artistic sensitivities including elements from the genres of art song, avant garde chamber music, and contemporary folk.
Reflections’ debut season kicked off in March of this year with the concert premiere of three commissioned works by local composers Kevin Lubin, morima, and Joey Timmons. The duo will also attend the Cortona Sessions for New Music in Ede, Netherlands this July to participate in the Chamber Music Initiative.
They will be performing works by @jessicameyermusic@baroque.bitch@musikale_salad@amanda_fandos@_x.pryse_official.x_ and Catherine Lamb
Catch their concert with Beacon New Music Festival on 6/6 | 7pm | Beacon Hill Friends House | 6 Chestnut St. Boston, 02108.
