Davin-Levin Duo

Davin-Lavin Duo - harp and guitar

November 14, 2026 Bankhead Theater Livermore 7:30 p.m.

The Davin-Levin Duo has created and revolutionized the genre of harp-guitar duo.  Selected for Classical Guitar Magazine’s “10 Favorite Albums of the Year” in 2020, this group has expanded the repertoire through commissions and arrangements, blending plucked sonorities to create a highly unusual and “mesmerizing” chamber music experience.

Quivers with energy...riveting pacing and subtle rubato from the Duo in a masterful performance.  Cleveland Classical

Polished phrasing and refined ensemble playing…the result is mesmerizing with amazing energy and direction (Bradford Werner, This is Classical Guitar)

A “clearly felicitous combination of two plucked string instruments,” (Cleveland Classical), the Davin-Levin Duo is comprised of Emily Levin, Principal Harp of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, and Colin Davin, Associate Professor of Guitar and Director of Guitar Studio at Shenandoah Conservatory. Since their first performance together in 2015, the Davin-Levin Duo has revolutionized the genre, expanding the repertoire through commissions and arrangements and establishing their instrument combination as a dynamic chamber music experience.

The Davin-Levin Duo has appeared around the country, performing concert experiences ranging from (Le) Poisson Rouge in New York City to intimate wine cellars in Boulder, CO. They have been featured at the Cleveland International Classical Guitar Festival, the Fine Arts Chamber Players, University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, and many other venues.
