Two’s Company

 
Two’s Company

Enjoy the special charm of two stunning voices magically entwined in harmony. Soprano duo Shona McIntyre-Bull and Katharine Watts create an extraordinarily close vocal blend. They have performed in many of New Zealand’s premier vocal ensembles and formed Two’s Company to explore the exhilarating and diverse repertoire for two equal voices.
Their ensemble is enhanced by accompaniments from skilled pianist Peter Watts.
Two’s Company performs an eclectic choice of duets from the Renaissance to modern day, including such composers as Morley, Monteverdi, Purcell, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Chausson and Fauré.

Recent recitals by Two’s Company include concerts at Puhoi, Howick, Auckland City, Waiuku, Taupo and Thames.

Two's Company repertoire features in a conference poster presented by Katharine at the International Congress of Voice Teachers (ICVT) in Brisbane in July.
