Duo Mosaico
is Ben Johnson and Steve Mullins, performing a mosaic of classical, flamenco, and original guitar music. With six music degrees between them (one for each string of the guitar) they bring a wealth of experience and expertise to the concert stage. Ben currently serves as the Head of the Classical Guitar Department, Director of Classical Guitar Ensembles, and Professor of Music Theory at Colorado State University in Pueblo. Steve teaches ethnomusicology at the University of Colorado in Boulder, where he also earned his doctorate, with a dissertation on Spanish flamenco. Their repertoire includes the challenging Tango Suite and other works by Astor Piazzolla, along with works by Rodrigo, Gnattali, and the original flamenco-inspired compositions of Dr. Mullins. Duo Mosaico is also pioneering the use of high-strung and low-strung guitars to expand the range of a guitar duo (by nearly an octave), creating a truly unusual and satisfying mosaic of sound.
