Will & Grace Duopiano, violin
We are Will Rand & Grace M. Alexander, a piano and violin collaborative duo located in the Pacific Northwest of the United States/Canada. Our mission is to connect with community through concerts and events, fostering a vibrant exchange of cultural and artistic expression. These gatherings allow community members and our artists to participated in a shared experience - voicing their perspective. We aim to create experiences that resonate across diverse audiences. By celebrating local figures in our communities and collaborating on interdisciplinary projects, we aim to cultivate a rich artistic landscape far beyond our musical abilities. The unique blend of nature and artistic expression in the PNW region serves as a powerful backdrop for connection and inspiration for us!
Upcoming Events/Performances
Previous Events/Performances
Integration:
A twist on traditional Bach
Our goal in this performance was to integrate the solo violin sonatas and partitas of Bach with the Bach piano inventions as one — as well as add our own take on Bach’s ideas as a third part and collaborative composition. Take a listen to “In the midst of mist: Bach in G minor” from our February 2024 recital.
Improvisation:
A group music making experience
What happens in the Pacific Northwest? It rains — A LOT! For this performance, we created rain sticks for the audience to participate in the music-making with our own traded-off improvisation. Enjoy “The Many Faces of Rain” from our February 2024 recital.
