The The Olson/De Cari Duo, a husband-and-wife ensemble, has performed to enthusiastic audiences in New York, New Jersey, California, Texas and Hawaii. The Duo has a unique and intimate approach to song performance that comes from soprano Gioia De Cari's background as both a film/theater actor and a classical singer, and guitarist John Olson's sensitive and intelligent approach to both new and traditional repertoire. NYlon Review described a recent performance as "superb . . . served up with style and elegance." The Duo has been  coached by Benjamin Verdery, David Leisner and Richard Sabellico.
