ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Formed in 2022, Duo Duoro features harpist Kaitlin Miller and flutist Arin Sarkissian. Fusing “winds, strings, and percussion” into one, the flute and harp offer a vast and unique combination of sound worlds. The ensemble aims to showcase their instrument pairing through adventurous programs of undiscovered soundscapes and diverse musical identities. Harpist Kaitlin Miller is an active musician in the Los Angeles area performing in orchestral, chamber, and solo settings. Her orchestral pursuits include performances with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, Pacific Symphony, and American Youth Symphony. Holding dual residence in British Columbia (Canada) and Los Angeles, Arin Sarkissian is the Principal Flutist of the Victoria Symphony. Recent orchestral appearances include concerts with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, National Arts Centre Orchestra, and Vancouver Symphony. Duo Duoro has enjoyed performing throughout Southern California at the Colburn School, University of Southern California, Music Academy (Santa Barbara), and in private concerts.
