BIOGRAPHY

In the Spring of 2005, violinist Miray Çakır, and guitarist Joshua Rhoads, discovered one another in the small Mediterranean island of Cyprus.  Both were classical music students at Eastern Mediterranean University where they collaborated together to produce this stunning ensemble. After their first musical experience as duo, they just knew...

Since then Duo Vibrato has gained critical acclaim winning solo and chamber music competitions both domestic and abroad.  In 2008 Violinist and Vocalist, Miray Çakır, was awarded full scholarship for violin performance at University of Arizona in Tucson where Duo Vibrato is now based.  Elizabeth Exline of Wavelenth Magazine writes, "Tonight, the best concert in town just might be in your own backyard."

This dynamic duo now plays much more than just classical music.  Their repertoire has expanded to include vintage jazz of the 1920’s - 1950’s, French Gypsy Jazz, Latin Jazz, Swing, Tango, Spanish Guitar, and more.  On February 27th of this year Duo Vibrato released their very first album called "Watch What Happens” (Live 2015).  It features Miray Çakır on Violin and Vocals, Joshua Rhoads on Rhythm and Lead Guitar, and Michael Moynihan on Saxophone.
