Piano-violin duo to give haunting performance

HAWLEY — Gracie and Rachel, a piano-violin duo that combines pop with classical music, will perform at the Silk Mill in Hawley on Nov. 7.

Jill Carletti, managing director of Harmony Presents, which is putting on the show, says the duo "performs classical string elements with haunting, fierce vocals, augmented by sparse but powerful percussion. The duo finds beauty in stark simplicity, pausing to breathe a hint of the abstract into the highly emotive, evolved body they create. Kate Havnevik, Regina Spektor, Sia, Tegan and Sara, and Frou Frou all come to mind when listening to Gracie and Rachel but they definitely have their own stylish sound."

Their debut album, "GO," is forthcoming.

The show takes place in the underground theater of the Silk Mill. Cocoon Catering Company will be selling wine, beer and light snacks on site.
