  Set amongst stunning works at the Newport Art Museum, the one-of-a-kind Cajun-Persian viola duo Talla Rouge celebrates the virtuosity of the viola. Lauded as the "little viola duo that could" by Chamber Music America, Talla Rouge has performed at Carnegie Hall and Dumbarton Oaks, and has won multiple competitions. This concert features works by celebrated living composers and reimagined classical favorites, showcasing the duo's ability to take audiences on a "musical journey that travels far and wide across 'genre-defying compositions'." (Gramophone Magazine).
