Raised in the beautiful Pennsylvania mountains and surrounded by a family of avid music lovers\, Billie’s love of performing music in all forms was fostered. \n\n\n\nIn her sixth grade year\, Billie began saving for her first guitar by doing odd jobs and begging her parents for music lessons. Her parents finally gave into their daughter’s pestering for lessons and it happily grew into a lifelong passion of music performance and songwriting. \n\n\n\nFor her senior year in high school\, Billie was accepted into the prestigious music conservatory at The University of North Carolina School of the Arts in Classical Guitar Performance and remained there for her college studies. During her years at UNCSA\, Billie was a guest classical guitarist in The Carolina Wind Symphony and has been able to perform all over North Carolina as both a solo artist and in classical guitar ensembles. After graduating in 2006\, Billie expanded her musical studies by learning the double bass\, electric bass\, banjo\, and mandolin. \n\n\n\nAfter graduation\, Billie founded a private teaching studio in Winston-Salem\, NC and began performing in several local bands – most notably the bo-stevens (a North Carolina honky-tonk band) and The Darnell Woodies (an old-time Appalachian punk string band). During her tenure in these bands\, Billie was able to tour the United States and Europe. \n\n\n\nWhile in Winston-Salem\, she began studying stringed instrument repair at Separk Music. Eventually\, Billie was asked to take a position in Chapel Hill\, NC as instrument repair technician at Wes Lambe Guitars. Currently\, Billie operates her own stringed instrument repair shop in Durham\, NC. \n\n\n\nEventually\, Billie began to hear the call of academia once more and enrolled in North Carolina Central University for a second undergraduate degree with a focus in jazz guitar and arranging. \n\n\n\nGraduating with honors\, she was invigorated to share her love of jazz with her community and students by starting a local Beginner’s Jazz Jam and a Suzuki Guitar Jazz Curriculum to keep jazz traditions alive for the next generation. \n\n\n\nMerging her love of both classical and jazz\, Billie returned to the UNC School of the Arts where she earned Master’s Degree in Guitar Performance and a Professional Artist Certificate in Recording Engineering and Guitar. \n\n\n\nAn active performer\, Billie can be found in a variety of musical groups and settings. See more about Billie’s bands in the “Projects” page\, her songwriting examples in the “Songwriting” page\, and recordings featuring her musical work on the “Recordings” page. \n\n\n\nYou can find Billie at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro teaching guitar as part of their Popular Music and Technology Program. Her previous appointments include Washington State University\, in Pullman\, Washington where she taught Group Guitar/UCORE Classes and Meredith College in Raleigh\, North Carolina where she was the college\, community music school\, and Suzuki guitar professor. \n\n\n\nBillie’s performances have been hailed as “spectacular\, athletic\, and… narrative and epic rather than simply a recreation of recorded work” and a “live music find and stage presence of the first order and deserves the stellar career that is clearly in front of her” by the Camel City Dispatch blog. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Courtney Miller is Assistant Professor of Oboe at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro\, where she teaches oboe\, chamber music\, reed making\, and graduate seminars. Before coming to the University of North Carolina\, Greensboro\, she served on faculty at the University of Iowa in Iowa\, Boston College in Massachusetts\, and Ashland University in Ohio.  \n\n\n\nA highly regarded performer and pedagogue\, Dr. Miller tours as a soloist\, chamber musician\, and teacher throughout the United States\, Europe\, Asia\, and South America. Dr. Miller is a versatile artist devoted to performing new compositions and lesser-known works alongside standard repertoire.  Her 2019 album Portuguese Perspectives introduces a collection of world-premiere recordings for the oboe by Portuguese composers and includes several new commissions by Miller. This album and her 2015 release\, Modern Fairy Tales\, are available on iTunes\, Amazon\, and Spotify. American Record Guide praises her “seamless consistency in the various registers of the oboe…and sensitive phrasing and articulation.” Fanfare Magazine hails Courtney Miller as “a performer of considerable skill\, with an unfailingly lovely sound\, abundant technical ability\, and a special gift for turning notes into poetry.”    \n\n\n\nAn experienced orchestral musician\, Miller has performed in many orchestras in the United States\, such as the Chicago Symphony\, Orchestra Iowa\, Quad Cities Symphony\, and the Jacksonville Symphony. Dr. Miller performs as Principal Oboe with the North Carolina Opera. \n\n\n\n In addition to collaborations within the field of music\, Dr. Miller has a flair for interdisciplinary work. She has collaborated with hip-hop dancer Ernest “EKnock” Phillips\, belly dancer Janelle Issis\, and most recently\, choreographer and dancer Kristin Marrs.   \n\n\n\n Dr. Miller has authored articles published in the Double Reed Journal and the Journal of the American Viola Society. She has also presented recitals and papers at the College Music Society’s Northeast Regional Conference. Dr. Miller performs regularly at the International Double Reed Society’s annual conferences. In 2017\, she was a featured artist at the first international conference of the Associação Brasileira de Palhetas Duplas (Brazilian Double Reed Society or ABPD).  \n\n\n\nCourtney Miller has a Doctor of Musical Arts from Boston University\, a Master of Music from Cleveland Institute of Music\, and a Bachelor of Music from Florida State University. Her primary teachers include John Ferrillo\, John Mack\, and Eric Ohlsson.   URL:https://vpa.uncg.edu/single-event/keys-and-bridges-duo/ LOCATION:Organ Hall\, 100 McIver St\, Greensboro\, 27412\, United States CATEGORIES:College of Visual and Performing Arts,School of Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://vpa.uncg.edu/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/faculty-recital-feature.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260329T173000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260329T190000 DTSTAMP:20260410T115331 CREATED:20260313T185028Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260324T163043Z UID:10003782-1774805400-1774810800@vpa.uncg.edu SUMMARY:Kaju & Lina Piano Duo DESCRIPTION:Event Details\n\n\n\n\nDownload Program\n\n\n\n\n\nParking\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe importance of philanthropy has never been greater.

There was a tiny newspaper item about a Veronese academic who had taken on the task of replying to letters addressed to ‘Juliet Capulet.’ \n\n\n\nThis apparently continued for a number of years\, until some gentlemen of the press exposed this secret correspondence. Quite how he came by these letters in the first place remains unclear. We can only make a guess as to their content. After all\, these people were writing to an Imaginary woman\, and a dead imaginary woman at that. Perhaps they were simply scholarly enquiries\, or letters of sympathy from others disappointed in love\, or even a plea from somebody forced into an unhappy arranged marriage. Whatever was contained in these letters and their replies\, the idea of this correspondence provided the initial inspiration” for The Juliet Letters\, a song sequence for string quartet and voice—a collaboration between Elvis Costello and The Brodsky Quartet. \n\n\n\n\nLyrics\nDeliver Us\n\n\n\nInstrumental \n\n\n\nFor Other Eyes\n\n\n\nI don’t know what I would doIf this letter should fall intoOther hands than it should pass throughFor other eyes \n\n\n\nHe said\, “It was nothing… it’s over and done”But the rotten worm was burrowing stillIts spirit invades me bleeding me whiteFor other repliesI searched his pocketsI searched his eyesI searched his wallet for clues and liesAnd I found a number that I somehow dialledA woman answered\, a woman smiledThen she hung up on the silence unperplexedInnocently spun her rolodexI dialled again I could not resistRevealing just the dentist receptionist \n\n\n\nOne day we’lI laugh about it or maybe we’lI curseBut there is one thing that is making it worseAnd it’s the lack of forgiveness that I can’t disguiseNo matter how well he liesNow we don’t know each other anymoreAnd when we touch our lips feel soreI question the longing left in his sighsFor other eyes \n\n\n\nSwine\n\n\n\nYou’re a swine and I’m saying that’s an insult to the pigIn the foul furrow that you digWhy don’t you lay your head downIn that unconsecrated groundWAS she your MOTHER?Or WAS she your brldeTo defile and to blisterTo gnaw at her sideIs this the end of the world?Now that you’ve finished your lifeThis RIDDLE is the work of my little pen-knife \n\n\n\nExpert Rites\n\n\n\nI marvel at the wonder of it in our souless ageFast flow the tears upon the pageDon’t be alarmed I am her friendWill I be excused if I presumeIt’s more than disappointment that we shareYou share the same sorry life\, the families fight\,that unhappy blade you both inviteThis romantic ideal has a lonely appealI once loved someone the way that you doBut I had to let her goI live with my regretDon’t despair my would-be Juliet \n\n\n\nDead Letter\n\n\n\nInstrumental \n\n\n\nI Almost Had a Weakness\n\n\n\nThank you for the flowersI threw them on the fireAnd I burned the photographs that you had enclosedGOD they were ugly childrenSo you’re the little bastard of that brother of mineTrying to trick a poor old woman‘Til I almost had a weaknessLast week Cousin FlorenceBit your Uncle JoeHit him on the forehead with a knife and a fork(She) said that he looked like the devilThen she said… “pass the vinegar\,” I’m beginning to think(That) I’m the only one who hasn’t taken to the drinking of itThough I almost had a weakness \n\n\n\nIt pains me to mentionThese delicate concernsWhile I have to tolerate you family jewelsI really mustn’t grumble(‘Cause) when I die the cats and dogs will jump up and downAnd you little swines will get nothingThough I almost had a weakness \n\n\n\nWhy?\n\n\n\nWhy is Daddy not here?Are you crying?Why?Does he still love me?Will you take care of me?If you both love me soWhy don’t you love each otherMummy’s gone missingDaddy’s on fireDaddy’s on fireDaddy’s on fire \n\n\n\nWho Do You Think You Are?\n\n\n\nThe hunted look\, the haunted graceThe empty laugh that you cultivateYou fall into that false embraceAnd kiss the air about her faceWho do you think you are?The tres bon mots you almost quote from yourQUIVER of literary dartsA thousand or so tuneless violins thrilling your cheaplittle heartWho do you think you are?

Please consider a gift to the School of Music to support our mission and ensure the future of music at UNCG. \n\n \n \n\n\n\n\n\nPianist Andrew Willis explores the historical development of keyboard instruments and their performance practice\, maintaining a commitment to the study\, performance\, and teaching of the widest possible range of repertoire. Keenly interested in the history of the piano\, he contributes frequently to conferences\, festivals\, and concert series. He is a past president of the Southeastern Historical Keyboard Society and a Trustee of the Westfield Center for Historical Keyboard Studies\, for whose International Fortepiano Competition he served as a juror. \nAs Covington Distinguished Professor of Music in the UNC Greensboro School of Music\, Willis teaches performance on instruments ranging from harpsichord to modern piano. He directed the biennial UNCG Focus on Piano Literature for over a decade and recently inaugurated a student Historical Performance Consort. For the Albany\, Bridge\, Claves\, Centaur\, and CRI labels he has recorded solo and ensemble music of three centuries on pianos linked historically to the chosen repertoire. His recording of Op. 106 for the first complete Beethoven sonata cycle on period instruments was hailed by The New York Times as “a ‘Hammerklavier’ of rare stature.” \nWillis received the D.M.A. in Historical Performance from Cornell University\, where he studied fortepiano with Malcolm Bilson\, the M.M. in Accompanying and Chamber Music from Temple University under George Sementovsky and Lambert Orkis\, and the B.M. in Piano from The Curtis Institute of Music\, where his mentor was Mieczyslaw Horszowski.
