About the Artists

Deux Voix (French for "two voices”) is a one-of-a-kind musical duo that has amassed a sterling reputation with both national and international acclaim. Since their founding in 2014, Stephen and Justin have presented over 350 programs nationwide in over 19 states and multiple concert tours abroad, including performances in some of the world's most impressive spaces such as the Lund Cathedral in Sweden, Aix Cathedral in southern France, Paulus Church in Oslo, St. Alban’s Anglican Church in Copenhagen, St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Maine, Cadet Chapel at West Point, Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, home of the world’s largest pipe organ, and many others. They have also served as headlining artists for festivals like the International Organ Festival in Bergen (Norway), and Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston, where they presented a wildly successful headlining program for the L’Organo Series that dedicated the new organ at The Citadel and set a record for the largest crowd for in the over thirty-year history of the series and dedication. Stephen and Justin recently celebrated their tenth anniversary year with a concert tour of France in June that encompassed several destinations from Paris to Marseille.

 As part of their mission to expand the world of trumpet and organ music, Stephen and Justin are constantly creating and adapting works from other genres and instrumentations, such as jazz, Broadway, opera, and popular music. They have also commissioned and premiered many new works for trumpet and organ, including commissioned works by composers such as Mark Hayes, Craig Courtney, and Alejandro Basulto. Deux Voix also frequently performs for private events, house concerts, and restaurants in an "unplugged" setting with piano, where they present an array of blended repertoire.

 The Deux Voix Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was created in 2021 to make longer strides towards the missions and goals of Deux Voix, which is to inspire and engage a wide and diverse audience of trumpet and organ music through the creation of new music, educational outreach, creative programming, and dynamic performances around the world.
