Known for their onstage charisma and camaraderie, Ottawa’s Lara Deutsch (flute) and Adam Cicchillitti (guitar) 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. Evoking musical portraits of 20th-century life around the world, their Wanderlust programme conjures images of natural landscapes, historical events, and folklore across the continents. "Wanderlust was born from a concert program we developed during the pandemic, a time when we were unable to travel very far from our front doors, let alone explore new places. Given the magical capacity of music to transport us elsewhere—if even briefly—we wanted to take our listeners on a musical voyage instead. Much of what you’ll hear on this album is inspired by folk music from around the world, naturally suited to the flute and the guitar, which are so deeply rooted in many global folk music traditions. We’ve loved every part of the journey that led up to this release, and we hope it leads you to discover new music that you love, too." - Lara Deutsch; Adam Cicchillitti
