The variedDuo of violinist Dawn Posey and percussionist Jason Ginter began as a desire to create chamber music using a unique combination of instruments, while equally displaying the possibilities of each. Inspired by American composer Lou Harrison’s work entitled “The Varied Trio”, the duo is devoted to the performance of existing works for violin and percussion and arrangement of other works for new instrument combinations. The variedDuo’s combination of chamber music, solo and duet literature results in endless musical possibilities.

The variedDuo is also dedicated to the commission of new chamber music works, including collaboration with other artists and musicians. Current collaborations include “Moorish Dances”, a new piece for violin, percussion and piano by composer Richard Faith.
