Harpist Margaret Davis and trumpeter Jonathan Shadle met while pursuing their undergraduate degrees at The Juilliard School and have since formed a chamber music duo to showcase this unique instrumentation. In addition to their undergraduate degrees from The Juilliard School and their graduate work at The Yale School of Music (M.M. 2018), they have studied and performed at numerous highly regarded summer music festivals, including The Aspen Music Festival, Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, Bowdoin International Music Festival, and The Chautauqua Music Festival. As a duo, they have performed recitals and concerts on the East Coast, as soloists and ensemble musicians they have performed throughout the U.S., and each teaches masterclasses, workshops, and private lessons. Davis & Shadle are committed to premiering little-known works for trumpet and harp, as well as transcriptions of other chamber pieces, and they also compose original music for their contemporary band, “Astoria Window”, and will be releasing their debut EP with that ensemble this spring. Their performance in Scranton will feature unpublished, Hungarian compositions for trumpet and harp, as well as transcriptions of classic, European chamber pieces for piano and voice. The combination of harp and trumpet is a very underutilized instrumentation, and audience members often find themselves surprised by the depth of blend and range of tone color achievable between the instruments. The program will also include solo harp pieces performed by Margaret Davis by various French, British and Dutch composers ranging from the 18th to 20th centuries.
