Senza Misura
Catherine LeGrand, flute
Kenneth Grigg, piano

Catherine LeGrand and Kenneth Grigg have been performing together since 1991; their concerts have been described as “buoyant,” “scintillating” and “transcendent.” Their name, Senza Misura, is a play on words meaning “without measure; beyond compare” and “without constraint; freely.”

Senza Misura has performed on concert series and at colleges and universities across the South and Midwest. Appearances include Kerrville Performing Arts Society and the Foundation for Modern Music in Houston. Senza Misura has also been recorded and broadcast by KUHF Radio in Houston.
