About
Duo Pathopoeia, named after the eponymous musical-rhetorical figure defined in Joachim Burmeister’s Musica Poetica (1606), is a violin-keyboard duo specialising in the performance of 17th century repertoire. Violinist Matthew Millkey and historical keyboardist Kiele Sacco began collaborating while studying at Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music and have since curated several recital programmes, particularly highlighting the stylus phantasticus. With a keen interest in research, the duo endeavors both to bring forgotten works to the concert stage and to present new interpretations of well-known staples of the repertoire. Recent projects include the recording of four different versions of JP von Westhoff’s Sonata “la Guerra”, each one performed in the style of a different well-known violinist of the Baroque period. Based in London, Matthew and Kiele are both founding members of The Great Bear Ensemble.
