New York Piano & Organ Duo

The New York Piano-Organ Duo is dedicated to performing the wide-ranging repertoire for this unique and exciting combination of instruments. This music includes works by living composers as well as the great 19th and 20th century masters (such as Franck and Dupre), duo-keyboard pieces from the 18th century, and Baroque concertos. The New York Piano-Organ Duo also endeavors to expand the existing piano-organ repertoire through transcriptions of other concert pieces (for example, Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf) and commissioning projects.

Colleagues and friends since their time as undergraduate students at the Oberlin Conservatory of Music, pianist Jason Cutmore and organist Daniel Sullivan now reside in New York, where they founded this duo in 2007 and where they enjoy busy careers as performers and teachers. Their upcoming duo concerts in the United States and Canada include an appearance in the Colors of Music Festival in Ontario, and a performance in New York City's Merkin Concert Hall, to premier a new work commissioned from composer Ronn Yedidia.

"These are two high-quality talented young men who impressed us on so many levels. Their musicianship was outstanding, but we also enjoyed them outside the concert hall. They are both bright, articulate, and a lot of fun....We filled the house...we were expecting wonderful-and we got it....blown away by Jason's playing...a great concert and a great day overall for the series." (Judy Evans, Cincinnati OH, presenter)

"Stellar...A performance of this calibre could only have been accomplished by conscientious artists who have devoted their lives to mastering their respective instruments....the results of their collaboration are outstanding. Several weeks later I continue to receive compliments from members of the audience who were deeply impressed by their artistry, technique, and the spirit of collaboration and conviviality which was so evident in their performance."
