Calandra & Espinosa is a dynamic piano and vocal duo blending expressive, genre-spanning piano with soulful, powerhouse vocals.
Featuring acclaimed pianist and composer Pete Calandra and vocalist Sara Espinosa, the duo delivers an intimate, yet electrifying performance rooted in jazz, soul, blues, and contemporary song.
Sara Espinosa, praised for her "warm, powerhouse vocals" (Kingston After Dark), brings a rich performance history spanning the Pacific Northwest to New York, including her role as frontwoman for the Hudson Valley favorite Soul Purpose. Her sound draws from neo-soul influences like Jill Scott, American roots artists such as Susan Tedeschi, and classic vocal stylists like Rosemary Clooney—blending timeless phrasing with a modern, soulful edge.
Pete Calandra is a prolific New York–based composer and pianist whose career spans Broadway, film, and television. With credits including over 100 film scores and music featured on major networks such as ESPN, NBC, and FOX, he has also performed with legends including Aretha Franklin and Dee Dee Bridgewater. A faculty member at the Aaron Copland School of Music, his work bridges jazz, contemporary, and cinematic soundscapes.
Together, Calandra & Espinosa create a refined, emotionally resonant musical experience—equally suited for concert settings, private events, and listening rooms—offering fresh interpretations of beloved songs alongside original material.
