Based in Madison, Sole Nero is committed to exploring and programming new and existing works for piano and percussion duo. In an effort to contribute to the repertoire of this diverse medium, the duo has engaged in an extensive commissioning/premiering project resulting in many new works since 2002. Sole Nero has performed extensively in the United States and has appeared in Shenyang and Beijing, China. In addition, the duo has performed at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention, the Society of Composers National Conference, and the MTNA National Conference.
Sole Nero’s repertoire has explored works involving multi-media, including Across a Distance, a theatre production for soprano, deaf actor, and video images with piano and percussion duo. The music for this production was composed for Sole Nero by Scott Gendel. In 2004 the duo released its first compact disc recording on the Equilibrium label titled Music per Due.
