Sarah Sutton ~ Viola 

The Critchmere Duo is comprised of husband and wife team William Wozniak (percussion) and Sarah Sutton (viola). First formed in 2004, the Critchmere Duo is named after "Little Critchmere", the home of two very dear friends, and wonderful supporters of music, Terry & Liz Pamplin.  "Little Critchmere" has long been a hub of musical activity,  and Sarah and Bill could think of no better way to honor two people, and a place which hold so much importance in both their lives.

Although the repertoire for viola and percussion is somewhat limited, the duo are constantly discovering and adding new works to their repertoire.  Their concerts have been especially well recieved by young audiences, whose attention is captured by the many colors and textures of this genre of music.

The duo is available for Outreach/Educational demonstrations, as well as Recitals.  For more information, or to enquire about availability, please click here to send a message.

Both musicians are also available for Solo Percussion Recitals or Viola & Piano recitals.  Please see "Repertoire" for  2009/10 season program suggestions.
