Founded in 2010 by mezzo-soprano Alyssa Anderson and guitarist Joseph Spoelstra, TDSP produces several concerts every season dedicated to the intimate pairing of guitar and voice. The ensemble has engaged audiences with a wide-ranging repertoire from Renaissance lute songs to Romantic arias, 20th and 21st century masterpieces, and newly commissioned music. TDSP has been presented locally in concert series by Macalester College, Minnesota Guitar Society, Schubert Club, Thursday Musical, and Zeitgeist, as well as broadcasts on Minnesota Public Radio. MPR host Steve Staruch praised TDSP's recording, Mauro Giuliani: Songs for Voice and Guitar, as "superb, clean and colorful."
