Sets of Two
Two amazing duos combined into one unforgettable concert!
Adam & Jon journey through the Irish idiom on fiddle, guitar, and tenor banjo, and have been enchanting listeners on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean for over a decade. Adam & Jon put down musical roots in County Clare, where they lived together, and now make frequent visits. Their connection to their instruments and the transcendent energy in their music is guaranteed to captivate and uplift audiences of all ages.
Duo Tourbillon is sure to delight and astound as they take music off the page and onto the stage. From classical to classics to music written in the moment, you are sure to enjoy the energetic variety. This duo is led by Rebecca Moritzky, one of the top harpists of the Denver area, who is known for going beyond what is expected on the harp, including jazz, show-tunes, pop/rock, improvisation, and classical.Â
About Adam & Jon
Adam Agee
Adam’s fiddle music is sensitive and dynamic, ranging from driving dance tunes to whispering laments. Raised in the mountains of Santa Cruz, California and Boulder, Colorado, Adam first traveled to Ireland in 2004, basing himself in the richly musical town of Ennis. Through opportunities in America and Ireland, he has studied with many of today’s living tradition-bearers. He has been teaching and performing for more than 20 years.
Jonathan Sousa
Jon fell in love with music at an early age, listening to the 70’s folk albums in his mother’s record collection. He journeyed on to rock music, passed through the realm of electronic dance music, made his way on to West African percussion, and finally landed in the world of traditional Irish music. Jon’s passion for music has taken him all over the world, from the beautiful countryside of France to study with master fingerstyle guitar player Pierre Bensusan, to Senegal, West Africa, to study Sabar Drumming, and eventually to reside in Ireland in 2008. There he refined his skills in interpreting Irish music while earning his Master of Arts degree in Traditional Irish Music Performance at the University of Limerick.
