The Stanton Street Duo, a husband and wife guitar and harmonica duo (yes, harmonica!) based in San Francisco, is new to Blanco Performing Arts this season. The two met when they were students at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. This duo originated in 2021 after Tatiana gifted Roberto his first chromatic harmonica. Originally meant to be no more than a hobby, the harmonica soon became the voice that inspired them to pursue a new musical experience away from western classical music and the classical guitar. Both coming from a Latin American background, this duo focuses mostly on the musical traditions from Mexico to Argentina. Tangos, Boleros, Choros and Zambas are some of the musical styles explored in this duo combination. Much of the music they play consists of their own arrangements and original compositions.
Stanton Street Duo distinguished themselves this spring by making the finals in the Concert Artists Guild competition Concert Artists Guild (CAG) is committed to supporting musicians who are ready to launch their careers on the national and international stage. Through their annual Elmaleh Competition, CAG seeks exceptional instrumentalists, ensembles, and singers who are also thoughtful citizen musicians and have a commitment to connecting their music to the greater world. Blanco Performing Arts is excited to present this fresh, vibrant group.
