The Buer Duo

July 27, 2026

Mash-ups by a musical marriage: Adam and Karin

Adam Buer is a long-time friend of BGS with numerous performances as one of our featured artists. This June he played with the GFA Community Guitar Orchestra on the final day of their conference here in Denver. For more, see his full bio.

Karin Buer teaches music theory and aural skills at CU, as well as private piano lessons. Read more about her research interests in her bio. Tonight she plays violin and piano to make it “The Buer Duo”.

The theme for this performance is Musical Mariages: “Birds of a feather flock together” and “opposites attract”, which you might think is about them but it says a lot about the amazing mash-ups below.
