American Double was founded in 2002 by two Yale graduates with a vision of enriching their performances with works by composers of American heritage. They specialize in the music of Pulitzer Prize-winning composer William Bolcom, with whom they coached in preparation for their CD release “The Bolcom Project.”  It remains the only recording of his complete works for violin and piano, and Bolcom has praised it as “great benchmarks for other performers, but also great performances on their own merits.”  Fanfare magazine “strongly recommended” the recording (May/June 2008) and Tempo has described it as “completely assured technically and brilliantly vivid musically.”  American Double has performed at Yale University’s New Music New Haven as well as at New York’s Steinway Hall in addition to concerts across the US and in Europe.  Believers in the value of educational outreach, they co-presented with William Bolcom to1500 school-age children from the stage of Boston Symphony Hall on the eve of the premiere of Bolcom’s Eighth Symphony by James Levine and the Boston Symphony Orchestra.  They have also presented at the Monroe School (Revere, MA), at a College Music Society National Conference (2006), as well as at the Greenwood Music Camp (Easthampton, MA) and the Boston Latin school.
