Haque and Gunn perform some of the rarely heard gems for the flute and guitar repertoire, and bring this music to life with first rate virtuosity and a unique stylistic understanding of world music, jazz and authentic performance practice.

Fareed Haque is a modern guitar virtuoso. Steeped in classical and jazz traditions, his unique command of the guitar and different musical styles inspire his musical ventures with tradition and fearless innovation. Haque was brought to the attention of Sting, who had just begun his record label Pangaea. Sting invited Haque to join the label and he released 2 critically acclaimed recordings “Voices Rising” and “Manresa”. Haque toured briefly with Sting, including notable appearances at The Montreux Jazz Festival as well as NBC's Michelob Presents Sunday Night with David Sanborn, but his own career demands led Haque in other directions.

Jennifer M. Gunn was appointed to the position of piccolo of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra by Daniel Barenboim in June 2005. Since joining the CSO, Jennifer has also been involved in the orchestra's MusicNOW contemporary music series and is a coach for the Civic Orchestra. Gunn made her debut as soloist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in May 2008 playing Vivaldi's Concerto in C Major, RV 443. She also has won several competitions including the National Flute Association's Piccolo Artist Competition in 2004. Gunn is currently on the faculty of the Chicago College of Performing Arts at Roosevelt University.
