Duo Kayo Performs at Union Hall

Duo Kayo, featuring the dynamic pairing of cellist Titilayo Ayangade and violist Edwin Kaplan, delivers a powerful performance with their unique ensemble. Boasting over a decade and a half of professional experience as members of esteemed groups like the Thalea and Tesla String Quartets, this innovative duo is making a bold statement in the classical music world. Committed to both commissioning new works and championing lesser-known pieces from the repertoire, Duo Kayo can be found performing live across the country. Known for playing well with others, their compassionate collaborative spirit has also led them to artist residencies at the Newport Classical festival, Classical Music Institute of San Antonio and chamber music festivals throughout the Northeast. With vibrant energy and a joyous musical expression, the duo is on a mission to be a vessel for new and exciting music, and to challenge traditional thinking about the genre. When not in the lab cooking up cool sounds, Edwin and Titi can be found tackling the New York Times crossword puzzle while waiting for the sous-vide to finish cooking.
