On February 20, the ECGS community enjoyed a truly memorable concert featuring Duo Nebula.

We were so impressed by their wonderful performance and thoughtfully chosen contemporary repertoire, which brought something fresh and unusual to our audience — music that may not have been familiar to many, yet was immediately engaging. Their artistry, sensitivity, and innovation shone throughout the evening, drawing listeners into new and exciting sound worlds.

Thank you, Duo Nebula, for sharing your creativity and passion with our community. It was an inspiring and enriching experience for us all.

As a duo, they light up the stage with creativity, depth, and bold musical choices that move beyond the traditional.

Tyson completed his MMus at the University of Alberta in 2013 under Carl Lotsberg and is the director of the guitar program at the Suzuki Charter School.

Marek completed his MMus at the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire in 2007 under Mark Ashford and has collaborated with some of today’s most innovative composers, bringing their works vividly to life.
