We, Lisa Carlson and Mariah Carlson-Kirigin, or "Turidae", are a versatile
mother/daughter duo of either flute and harp or flute and violin. Flute and
harp is a much sought after choice for weddings and many other occasions,
as is flute and violin. With our duo, you have the option of the lively sound
of the flute and fiddle alternating with the mellow and ultimate sweetness
of flute and harp, or you can just choose one combo. Our repertoire for
flute and harp tends to be primarily folk, with emphasis on Celtic, while
our repertoire for flute and violin ranges from light classical to folk fiddle.

Mariah began her instrumental music career when she started flute
at age 2. Piano followed at 5, and violin at 6. The mother/daughter
duo have been performing together professionally since Mariah was
7. At that time, Mariah had a very strong interest in harp and
decided to begin the process of earning one. Together, the duo, and
sometimes trio with her sister Clara, played in a variety of venues,
primarily as street musicians, until Mariah earned her harp at age 10.
Two years later, her harp teacher, Mary Fran Stafford, began
recommending her as a harpist for weddings and other events.
In August of 2007 they recorded their first full hour television
program as a duo at the Orca Media studio, appearing on cable TV
stations in Montpelier and Barre. The program aired at least 6 times
in the fall of 2007, and was well received. This was Mariah's third
television appearance as a musician, having once appeared on the
Channel 3 news, fiddling and clogging with her sister Clara, and once
with a harp circle on a cable station in Barre.
Mariah, and/or the Carlson-Kirigin family, has also received press
attention for musical endeavors from the Burlington Free Press, the
Middlesex Occasional, and Vermont Public Radio.
