Diana Doherty describes her very personal program: 'To friendship – From the first piece in the first recital we ever played together to a brand-new piece to leave to future generations, this program charts more than two decades of a partnership very dear to me. 'Beep' (as I call her) and 'Dees' (as she calls me) bonded from day one over music, motherhood, and the rollercoaster of life to form what has become a deeply satisfying artistic collaboration and a treasured friendship.'
