PLAINFIELD – The Vermont Cello Duet will perform Sunday, Jan. 11, at the historic Plainfield Opera House. The performance begins at 4 p.m., with doors opening at 3:30 p.m.
The Vermont Cello Duet, Sierra Hiner and Ines Horozovic, formed in 2022 after meeting in a University of Vermont chamber music class taught by cellist Emily Taubl. Their musical connection grew as they explored everything from Bach and Vivaldi to their favorite Taylor Swift medleys, reflecting both their classical training and their shared love of contemporary music.
Hiner, originally from Long Island, N.Y., studied with Matthew Schneider and Maureen Hynes and has performed at the Carnegie Hall and Jazz at Lincoln Center. She remains active in the Burlington music community, balancing performance, teaching and graduate studies.
Horozovic, who was born and raised in Winooski, began cello at age ten and spent five years performing with the Vermont Youth Orchestra. Throughout high school she frequently volunteered her musical talents at community events, a commitment she maintains today alongside her career as a 9th-grade English teacher at Missisquoi Valley Union High School.
The Plainfield Town Hall Opera House is wheelchair accessible and assisted listening devices are available upon request. Admission is by donation, with tickets available online at plainfieldartsvt.org and at the door.
