When Eleanor Dubinsky and Dario Acosta Teich perform together, they connect — to each other, to audiences, to diverse traditions that become surprisingly familiar, and to the deeper reaches of human emotion. Their feel-good concerts of jazz, Latin, French and original songs invite audiences to travel the world while discovering underground tributaries that connect us in our shared human experience. Eleanor is a St. Louis, MO-born vocalist and multi-instrumentalist with musical roots in classical cello. Dario is a virtuoso guitarist from Tucumán, Argentina, a South American center of folk music and indigenous culture. Their shared, ever-evolving creative paths have taken them to respected stages across five continents, including Jazz Aspen-Snowmass, Lincoln Center’s La Casita, Bebop Jazz in Buenos Aires, the Guggenheim Museum, Joe’s Pub, Sounds Jazz in Brussels, The Museum of Music in Lisbon, WNMU, Ball State U., Kent State Tuscarawas and The Kimmel Center in Philadelphia. Eleanor and Dario also serve as cultural ambassadors for the U.S. State Department, performing and leading educational programs for U.S. Embassies in Mauritania, Guatemala, Argentina, and Honduras. Eleanor and Dario lead school assemblies, workshops and masterclasses for students ages K through university. They teach in Spanish, French and Portuguese in addition to English and are passionate about making the arts accessible and inclusive to artists and non-artists of all ages. The artists are steadily accumulating accolades far and wide. Dario’s new release FOLKLORE was nominated for four 2023 Mercedes Sosa Awards (Argentina-based music prize) including Best Jazz Album, Best Alternative Folk Album and Best Instrumental Album. Eleanor was voted Best Francophone Singer NYC by French Culture Guides, was one of NPR Alt. Latino’s New Spring Music Picks 2018 and won the Best Song at the ASCAP EXPO Sennheiser Songwriting Competition. Her songs have been featured on MTV, Lifetime, Animal Planet, and in ads for American Express.
