– Ellis Duo–TIFFANY DELGADO and HILARY MAULER first came together as a duo for an ensemble class at Brigham Young University in April 2012. Their instructor, Dr. Irene Peery-Fox, encouraged the duo to continue and to look into competing. The team decided to spend the summer learning and recording the required repertoire for the Ellis Duo Piano Competition, sponsored by the National Federation of Music Clubs. Much of the time spent preparing for this competition was done as the two lived in cities three hours away. The duo also discovered the United States International Duo Piano Competition and decided to enter. The team soon found out that they were finalists in both competitions, and competed in the final rounds to receive first place. Dr. Karen Lamberger described the team as “the epitome of what a duo team should be.” Besides commenting on the “exquisite dialogue” between the two pianists, she commented that “they enjoy what they are doing and it shows!” In April 2013 at Brigham Young University’s university wide commencement ceremony, Hilary and Tiffany performed the Lutoslawski Paganini Variations for a twenty thousand plus crowd, and a live broadcast on BYUTV. Both members of the duo received their degrees in Piano Performance in 2013 (Hilary BM, Tiffany MM). The duo has performed at various NFMC functions throughout the United States and has also performed as guest artists at Dixie State University, Jackson State University, Belhaven University, and at Brigham Young University. Most recently they performed with the Manassas Symphony Orchestra in Manassas, Virginia and performed in the Concerts at Temple Square series in Salt Lake City, Utah. The duo, as reported by Dr. Richard Glazier, “grabbed my attention from the beginning” and “showed great sensitivity as well as excellent technique.” Hilary currently lives in Palo Alto, CA with her husband David, and their daughter Halle. They are expecting their second child due in November 2015. Tiffany lives in Los Angeles, CA with her husband Manuel and their son Maxwell.
