Blue Violet Duo (Kate Carter, violin; Louise Chan, piano), formed in 2013, is dedicated to performing diverse and vibrant works by American composers, including a particular interest in works that incorporate elements of popular genres, such as jazz, rock, folk, and blues. They have had repeat engagements at the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts, and their critically acclaimed debut recording, American Souvenirs, released in September 2018, was featured as WFMT’s “new release of the day.”
