Hazel Ketchum  and Christopher Berg formed the The Rossignol Duo in 1997 to explore the vast and beautiful Renaissance, Baroque, and 19th-Century literature for lutes, voice, and guitars in varying combination.  As a duo, they have become known for their technical command,  scholarly insight, and innovative programming. They have performed to capacity crowds throughout the Southeast and New England.  The State newspaper wrote of a recent performance, “packed with pleasure… expertly played guitars and lutes, wondrously nimble passage work.” 

Hazel Ketchum is a lutenist, guitarist, and singer.  Since receiving her Master of Music degree from the University of Southern California she has had a lively performing and recording career.  Ms. Ketchum has performed throughout the United States as soloist and at the Tage Alter Musik Festival in Regensburg, Germany as member of the medieval group SONUS with whom she has recorded three compact discs on the Dorian Discovery label.  In addition to her work with SONUS and The Rossignol Duo, Ms. Ketchum performs original music with the Hungry Monks and Irish music with Donnybrook Legacy.
