SydeBoob Duo presents Coming Home, a radically expansive rethinking of the chamber music duet for the modern audience with an evening of music written for them by Pittsburgh-based composers Eric Moe, Ramin Akhavijou, and Luis Miguel Delgado Grande with some of their favorite new and existing works mostly from their upcoming record, Au Naturel. The complete program can be found here and includes works by Kate Soper, Ramin Akhavijou, Andrew Hamilton, Rebecca Saunders, Eric Moe, Max Johnson, Luis Miguel Delgado Grande, Anthony Braxton, and Beat Furrer. 

SydeBoob Duo is soprano vocalist Anna Elder and flutist Sarah Steranka's contemporary chamber music duo. Based in Brooklyn, the pair performs and commissions music that pushes the boundaries of modern techniques while honoring traditional practices that would be common in any era of classical music. Elder and Steranka have played together since 2015, but officially formed SydeBoob in 2020. Their name reclaims an ostensibly derogatory term for soft-bodied women's “unsightly body fat.” In taking that term back, they declare that they not only own and love their own bodies, but also their decisions, their minds, their musical practice and the critical intersection of it all. SydeBoob is dedicated to amplifying the voices of female artists and using alternative performance mediums to invite listeners into a more unique and challenging listening experience.
