“Miniatures and Mystery” is a concert that utilizes musical storytelling in a way that is sure to stretch the imagination of any audience member. From programmatic music such as “He Waits for You” by Peter Cohn (which is based on Madeline Miller’s best selling book “The Song of Achilles”) to the cozy and fun miniatures by Louis Anthony deLisle  with such names as “The Music Box” and “A Trot Through the Snow”, this concert includes music that is understandable and accessible to a wide range of ages and lived experiences.

Much like the original “Dynamic Duo” Batman and Robin fought crime to create a better world for those around them, flutist Brandon LePage and harpist Rachel Miller are two strong musical forces who are ready to deliver peace, love, and a shared sense of humanity into the heads and hearts of all who are brave enough to listen. Together as Dynamic Duo, these two bombastic players perform with an electricity that is palpable leaving audiences craving more.

Brandon and Rachel met while working on their undergraduate degrees together at Michigan State University in 2009 and instantly felt the sparks that have fueled their fire to perform together as much as possible. Since their time at MSU, they have embarked on varied careers as orchestral musicians, soloists, and teachers while always coming together as the Dynamic Duo to collaborate on meaningful projects. The duo is currently preparing to record an album of world premiere works written specifically for them which is tentatively scheduled to be released in the Fall of 2027.

They have appeared frequently on the Chamber Artists of Southeast Michigan summer concert series as Artists in Residence and have been featured performers with the Kerrytown Concert House Series in Ann Arbor as well as the Southwest Michigan Symphony on their popular Library Garden series. Dynamic Duo has several world premieres to their name (including most recently; “He Waits for You” by Peter Cohn). They have over 40 minutes of music committed to them by 5 composers for their upcoming 2027 album.

Described by the American Organist magazine as an "incredibly gifted improviser” with performances that are “paced to perfection” and “registrations [that] bring out the full range of the organ”, Jerrick Cavagnaro is establishing himself as a prominent artist. A graduate of the Yale School of Music and the Yale Institute of Sacred Music, he earned a master’s degree in organ performance studying under Jon Laukvik and Thomas Murray.
