New Moon Duo

New Moon Duo – mezzo-soprano Melinda Martinez Becker and pianist Anne Rainwater – is a San Francisco-based contemporary chamber arts ensemble. Concentrating on works written in the 20th century or later, Melinda and Anne explore unique pieces that challenge the status quo and push the boundaries of compositional styles. New Moon Duo aims to communicate musically to diverse audiences through a wide variety of languages and cultural narratives that express compelling and often untold stories. They have collaborated with and commissioned pieces from composers with distinct musical voices shaped by heritage and identity.
