About Common Resonance
Common Resonance was founded to extend classical music audiences by leveraging other art forms and to program living composers' work. Our inaugural concert sold out weeks in advance with a long waitlist, and we are thrilled to continue building this community of composers, performers, visual artists, and listeners.

About Koe Duo
Koe (聲 [koh eɪ] — sound, voice, noise) is a flute and cello duo comprised of Eva Ding and Emma Kato, dedicated to amplifying the voices of underrepresented composers and creating interdisciplinary projects rooted in their respective cultural upbringings. Originally formed during their graduate studies at the Manhattan School of Music, Koe has performed at Carnegie Hall, WQXR's The Greene Space, Joe's Pub at The Public Theater, The McKittrick Hotel, and Riverside Church. They were artists-in-residence at the Center at West Park for their Fall 2021 season and have been recipients of Chamber Music America's Ensemble Forward Grant, supported by the New York Community Trust, as well as the LMCC Creative Engagement Grant.
