Cellist Nicholas Canellakis and pianist-composer Michael Stephen Brown bring their inimitable wit, humor, and infectious rapport to the stage as they curate an eclectic playlist. Anchored by four romances, this program represents their signature style: mixing classics with rarely heard gems, their own arrangements, and original compositions. Featuring works that are soulful, virtuosic, and just plain fun, (b)romance celebrates 15 years of being best friends and artistic collaborators.
