About
Today we are the mirror of our past, a past that is reflected in the future through a mirror.
In other words, we are people who have finally chosen to be themselves by accepting their own experience in its entirety.
Music is part of our nature and it is what enriches it, makes it artistic; for us it is vital nourishment and intimate personal expression.
And so this is what we offer to our audience, to you, to all those who devote their attention to us: our experience, our knowledge, our creativity.
Also in 2023 we have had numerous international awards as a duo. We remember:
1st prize at the Gabriel Fauré Music World Competition
2nd prize at the Fanny Mendelssohn competition 2023
3rd prize at the World's Best Musicians Competition
Special mention at the Medici International Music Competition
