Duo Musagète

Since 2007, Duo Musagète has been thrilling audiences around the Northeast with their innovative programming and novel approach to the concert experience. Guitarist Jérôme Mouffe and flutist Benjamin Smolen, themselves established soloists, founded Duo Musagète while studying with Eliot Fisk and Paula Robison at New England Conservatory. Duo Musagète’s recent performances include concerts at Jordan Hall in Boston, the Gore Place Governor’s Mansion, and the Old South Meeting House. They have also been the featured ensemble on the LiveARTS chamber music series and the Boston Public Library’s Concerts in the Courtyard series. In 2008, Duo Musagète became New England Conservatory’s headlining Honors Chamber Ensemble, and in 2009 they were chosen to perform in the final rounds of the Concert Artist Guild International Competition. Duo Musagète continues to expand the boundaries of the flute and guitar repertoire through their work with esteemed composers such as Robert Beaser, Randal Despommier, and Andreia Pinto-Correia. Upcoming projects include a recording of Beaser’s “Mountain Songs” in collaboration with the composer and debut concerts in the Carolinas and Michigan.
