Adam Cicchillitti & Lara Deutsch

guitar and flute duo

Known for their onstage charisma and camaraderie, Adam & Lara began performing together in 2019 after discovering their mutual love for the music of Piazzolla. With an established discography as individual artists on the Analekta and Leaf Music labels, as well as numerous accolades in their respective fields, one of the primary focuses of the duo is to perform and promote the works of their Canadian friends and colleagues internationally. Recent performance highlights include a livestream recital as part of the National Arts Centre and Facebook’s #CanadaPerforms initiative in addition to concerts for Ottawa Chamberfest’s “Chamber Pints” series and the Orchestre symphonique de Trois-Rivières recital series. Passionate about community outreach, Adam & Lara also recently participated in Mécénat Musica’s “Mini-Concerts Santé” program and partnered with the City of Ottawa to record a concert for broadcast in seniors residences across the city. The duo is looking forward to recording their debut album in 2022 on the Leaf Music label.
