After more than 3 years of hard work,companionship and performing through Luxembourg, Belgium and Spain, the time has come for Duo Rosa to record a first album!

The main theme of this album is a journey from Luxembourg to the Dominican Republic, as a return to Stephany's home country.

This musical journey begins with a work commissioned especially for this occasion by the Luxembourgish composer Camille Kerger. It then continues through France, Spain and Latin America, while discovering the jewels of the mélodie and the canción.

But this album is more than a mere trip: it brings together works that intertwine. French music influenced Spanish composers and vice versa. All this music also inspired other Latin American composers. This was the case of Granados, Grever, Lecuona who worked alongside French composers like Fauré, Debussy, Saint-Saëns and Ravel.

The album will be released over two dates: 19 November 2016 at the Philharmonie of Luxembourg and 25 November 2016 at the Royal Theater la Monnaie in Brussels. A world tour will follow in Spain, the United States and the Dominican Republic.
