Folias Duo live in Lexington

Experience Folias Duo live on July 22nd

Folias Duo will perform at Cary Memorial Library in Lexington, Massachusetts on July 22, 2026. The ensemble specializes in music for classical guitar and violin, often drawing repertoire from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic periods, as well as incorporating contemporary compositions and arrangements. Their performances are noted for a blend of technical precision and expressive interpretation, frequently exploring themes of cultural exchange through music originating from diverse traditions – particularly those influenced by Portuguese and Latin American musical forms, reflecting the duo’s name derived from the Portuguese *folia* tradition.

Cary Memorial Library serves as the public library for the town of Lexington. Originally established in 1883 through a bequest from local resident Mary Cary, it initially occupied space in the Town Hall. The current building, a landmark structure designed by architect Albert R. Lyman and completed in 1902, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It exemplifies Beaux-Arts architecture and features a prominent domed reading room. Beyond traditional library services, Cary Memorial Library regularly hosts community events including concerts, lectures, and exhibitions within its various program spaces. The library continues to operate as a vital cultural hub for Lexington residents.
