On March 12th, Arts Enter Cape Charles welcomes Marcolivia, an award-winning violin and violin/viola duo to the Palace Theater in Cape Charles. The duo performs music from all styles and periods, including Folk Music and Salon/Virtuoso works, as well as Baroque music and works by 20th century composers.
Marc Ramirez and Olivia Hajioff have made violin and viola duo music the focus of their musical lives for the past 15 years, ever since they collaborated for both of their doctoral dissertations. They perform 30 concerts a year of duo recitals and double concertos with orchestras. In developing their repertoire over many years, Marcolivia has discovered a great love of folk-based classical music.
The Marcolivia Duo has been featured on NPR’s “Performance Today” and “Front Row Washington”, and is a regular guest artist at the Tokyo College of Music, Japan. They have performed for the Kennedy Center, Strathmore, Merkin Hall and Symphony Space, NYC, Federal Reserve Board in Washington DC, the Hungarian American Coalition at the Cosmos Club, and annually at the Phillips Collection.
