The mission of Deux Voix 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.
Formed in 2014, Deux Voix (French for "two voices") has amassed a sterling reputation with both national and international acclaim. In addition to the numerous performances in their home in southeast Texas, they have presented concerts nationwide in over 19 states, and have toured abroad in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway where they were guest artists for the International Organ Festival in Bergen. A short list of notable performance locations includes St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, The Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Maine, the Mayo Clinic Medical Center in Rochester, Minnesota, Washington Music Festival in Port Angeles, Cadet Chapel at West Point Military Academy, Myers Park United Methodist in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, home to the world’s largest pipe organ. They also presented a wildly successful headlining program for the L’Organo Series at the Piccolo Spoleto Festival in Charleston, South Carolina in May of 2015, where they performed the formal dedication concert for the new organ at The Citadel and set a new record for the largest crowd for in the over thirty-year history of the series.
In their mission to expand the world of trumpet and organ, Stephen and Justin are constantly adapting works from other genres and instrumentations, such as jazz, Broadway, opera, and current 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 perform for private events, house concerts, and restaurants in an "unplugged" setting with piano, where they present a mix of classical, pop, broadway, and jazz music.
In the spring of 2021, Deux Voix officially formed the Deux Voix Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in order to make longer strides towards the missions and goals of Deux Voix. The mission of Deux Voix 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.
