Chamber groups, Flute, Guitar
Immediately discovering their shared vision, Renée Bond and Paige Jackson joined artistic forces in 1999. They perform with a passion for their instruments, introducing audiences to the unique and varied repertoire composed for flute and guitar. The Silverwood Duo is emerging as one of Arizona's premiere chamber music ensembles. One of their goals is to make the rich tradition of classical music accessible through community outreach programs. The ensemble was a recipient of multiple grants through the Tucson/Pima Arts Council, and has been featured on KUAT's "Arizona Illustrated" and broadcast on several radio programs nation-wide. Their first CD "Collage" has been met with critical acclaim.
Renée Bond is an award-winning flutist, making her first solo appearance at the age of twelve. She has toured in over a dozen countries with the United States Army Europe Premiere Band. She holds degrees in flute performance from the University of California (Santa Barbara) and The Boston Conservatory, and a Doctorate of Musical Arts from the University of Arizona.
Paige Jackson is hailed for her artistically-refined guitar performances. She lived in Brazil for two years, concertizing and studying as a Rotary Foundation Ambassadorial Scholar. She holds a Bachelor of Music in guitar performance from the University of Akron and a Master of Music in guitar performance from the University of Arizona.
