Bottom Line Duo
Billed as ‘social chamber music’ or ‘21st Century Parlor Music’, the Bottom Line Duo, has been thrilling audiences with their fast fingers, wit, and bows. With humor bordering on outright comedy they deliver a program with roots in chamber music and an amazing repertoire of modern and popular sounds. As the only full-length bass and cello duo show in the world, these accomplished artists prove chamber music is accessible to all by breaking down common stereotypes. Today’s standard for energy efficiency is fulfilled as the duo presents a ‘Green' program playing entirely on recycled instruments (bass circa 1735 / cello circa 1869).
We are pleased to welcome back Traci and Spencer Hoveskeland
after a rave performance in 2007. Victory Music Review said “They
have a flair for playing with excitement and humor. You can truly
hear the fun they are having.”
In addition to bass, Spencer is also a virtuoso ukulele player. Prior to the concert, a workshop will be given to the Florence Ukulele Club (FLUKES) and some will join the duo on stage for one number. You do not want to miss that!
We would like to thank Weiner Consulting Services for being a Sponsor for this Performance and to Western Lane Community Foundation for a grant for the Outreach program for Suislaw Schools.
