Just Duet is an offbeat musical and comedic duo, often—but not always—comprised of clarinet and percussion. Blending contemporary music with elements of theater, sketch comedy, and storytelling, we use our audience and space to create an experience that is never the same twice.

The unholy spawn of a night at a Fargo beer hall, Just Duet is the brainchild of Cynthia Goosby and Scott Charvet. The two met as music graduate students at North Dakota State University, and within a month of forming in early October, 2014, they began performing publicly and privately in a variety of venues, including concert halls, bars, libraries, churches, living rooms, schools, and even a cave! After spending two years in Bowling Green, OH, to finish their M.M. degrees, the duo moved to Austin, TX, in 2017!

Dr. William Kenlon (b. 1983) is an American composer based in Dublin, Ireland. His music has been described as "pointed and groovy" (New Music Box), noted for its "lyrical personality that is original and strong," and praised for its sophisticated tonal explorations: "solid without being dense, clear without being sparse, and ever-changing without being random" (Boston Musical Intelligencer). From 2015–2025, he earned a reputation as one of the most prolific and in-demand composition teachers in the Washington, DC area, managing an active private studio and teaching at St. Mary’s College, University of Maryland, Catholic University, American University, and George Mason University. Prior to his move to Dublin, he served as Lecturer and Coordinator of Music Theory & Composition at Howard University, where he still teaches online courses.
