Miller-Porfiris Duo
Miller-Porfiris Duo (MP2) has delighted audiences since 2005. The duo has been in residency and given seminars and masterclasses at festivals and institutions across the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Recent seasons have seen tours around the United States, Iceland, Taiwan and Israel; with acclaimed performances on Spitalfields Festival in London, Chamber Music of Little Rock, Chamber Music Pittsburgh, Tel Aviv Museum, and Icelandic Chamber Society series. Their “MP2 on the Silver Screen” series has reintroduced audiences to the compelling interplay of silent film and live music. In 2025, MP2 will be featured in Grand Teton Music Festival's "On the Road" series with commissioned duos by Errollyn Wallen, Hildigunnur Rúnarsdóttir, Anne Guzzo, Ken Steen and Stephen Gryc, and repeated in Scotland and Iceland. Expanding to a true global audience during the pandemic, they commissioned, premiered, and streamed 10+ new pieces by women and underrepresented composers. Their second album, Eight Pieces, was deemed “a fine new recording” “wonderfully smooth ensemble work” “vibrant and focused playing" by Gramophone and Audiophile. Fanfare reviewed Divertimenti, their third album: "their playing is a lightning bolt, full of color, fire, and passion." Their fourth album, Threaded Sky, was deemed by American Record Guide to be “in the top ten of all albums I’ve ever reviewed.” www.millerporfirisduo.org.
