STATE COLLEGE — Revamped, the violin duo of Mark Minnich and Sally Williams Minnich, will perform as part of the UUFCC Music Series at 3 p.m. on Sept. 25 at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Centre County, 780 Waupelani Drive.
The program will feature works by Vivaldi, Bartok and Monti, as well as selections the duo has arranged for two violins. The arrangements have been described as daring and innovative and done in a way that is entirely their own.

Both performers hold bachelor degrees in music from Bowling Green State University and master’s degrees in music from Penn State University.
