KEYNAMICS
Keynamics was born out of a friendship that began in college. The first meeting was in March 2017 during Grace’s freshman year of college. Lorraine’s first memory of Grace was of her accompanying a Saint-Saen violin concerto in a recital. They formally met each other in the hall a few days later, exchanged numbers, and made plans to play together that fall. Lorraine came to campus the next fall just in time to accompany Grace for her concerto competition.
The next three years, their partnership grew into a special bond which has led to the continuation of their collaborations. Both went on to pursue master’s degrees at separate colleges, but still have connected to collaborate on performances.
Keynamics seeks to promote piano duo and 4 hands repertoire while also sharing the joy of making music with your best friend.
