DUE EAST  (Erin Lesser, flutes; Greg Beyer, percussion) actively promotes new music and seeks to expand the flute and percussion duo genre through frequent commissions and premieres.

 The duo has performed in China, Brazil, Europe, Canada and the USA at venues such as the Beijing Modern Music Festival, the Warsaw Crossdrumming Festival, the Banff Centre for the Arts and the SEAMUS conference. DUE EAST has given multiple performances at the Percussive Arts Society International Convention and won first prize in the 2008 National Flute Association Chamber Music Competition. 

Their first recording, Simultaneous Worlds, is available on Albany Records.

Their second recording, Drawn Only Once, is a multi-media CD/DVD now available on New Amsterdam Records. Noted critic Steve Smith gave it a rare 5.0-star rating in Time Out New York, calling it "spellbindingly beautiful."

DUE EAST  had the honor and pleasure of working with the Lawrence University Wind Ensemble, under the direction of Dr. Andrew Mast, this past spring. We were thrilled to offer two premiere performances of UBEHEBE, a double concerto for us and wind ensemble by our dear friend, Alexandre Lunsqui. Check out the video!
