Aria Cheregosha & Lauren Spaulding 🇺🇸 USA
VIOLA DUO
Tallā Rouge, meaning ‘The Red Gold’, was established by the fiery Persian-American & Cajun-American violists, Aria Cheregosha & Lauren Spaulding. Formed under the mentorship of Roger Tapping at The Juilliard School & Karoly Schranz of the Takács Quartet, the LGBTQ+ ensemble made their debut virtually with “Music for Food” in 2020 under the direction of violist Kim Kashkashian, and has since been recognized by the Catalyst Quartet as NOLA ChamberFest’s “Emerging Artists” of the year (2022-2023), and first-prize winner in the Frances Walton Competition. Tallā Rouge will be a featured ensemble on the 2022 inaugural American Viola Society album, and has been invited to present works by Tigran Mansurian & Jessie Montgomery at the 2022 International Viola Congress.
