The Duets were composed between 2006 and 2008, and recorded by Curtis and Judith Hamann for the 2014 album Duets, released on Wada’s Saltern label. Duets will be performed in the Olive Allee at Arlington Garden, and the performance will be followed by a conversation about the composition and Marcia Hafif with Tashi Wada, Charles Curtis, and Michael Ned Holte, curator of how we are in time and space: Nancy Buchanan, Marcia Hafif, Barbara T.
