About
A DOS MUSIC PROJECT
A Dos Music Project is a Latin American music clarinet duet founded by Ivan Valbuena and Luz Sarmiento, a Colombian couple of professional clarinetists who have been expanding the horizons of Latin music by performing traditional music with a non-conventional instrumentation and demanding arrangements. By combining the technical and artistic possibilities of the clarinet with the fresh and unique sound of Latin rhythms, A Dos Music Project displays a virtuosic, improvisatory and innovative performance that reaches all kinds of audiences.
The ensemble’s mission is educational development and the promotion of music and art as a means of social transformation. This clarinet duet strives to engage new generations of audiences through interactive concerts and workshops designed to inspire young musicians in disadvantaged areas of the world including performances in refugee camps in Sweden and Germany and El Sistema inspired programs in the US and Latin America. The duet has performed in different venues in Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Westborough, MA, Washington DC, Austin, TX, Colombia and others.
A Dos Music Project has been recently awarded with the Presser Foundation Music Award 2017, which sponsored their first Colombian National Tour, where they performed in twelve cities in the most isolated regions of the country.
