The Heritage Duo Ensemble is a concertizing team of “East meets West” featuring spirited artists from South Korea and the United States. Pianist Sin Ae Lee and bass trombonist Darrin C. Milling present a program of masterworks by Schumann, Rachmaninoff, Mahler and more with a fresh new sound and look that are captivating audiences of all ages and backgrounds. The original Duo formed in 2016 in São Paulo, Brazil, and, in 2017, performed its debut concert at the International Winter Festival of Campos Do Jordão, founded by the late Brazilian conductor Eleazar de Carvalho (1912 - 1996). Co-owner and artist Sin Ae assumed her role with Heritage on July 17, 2017 and the Duo immediately continued its activities on stage, as well presented a chamber music workshop, at the São Paulo State School of Music. The Heritage Duo is one of few fixed piano and bass trombone combinations in the world and seeks to break barriers in the chamber forum by exhibiting the important musical dialogue that exists between their instruments and people from various regions.
The program at Glencairn Museum will include works by Müller, Schumann, Rachmaninoff and others.
