ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
DUO APPASSIONATO possesses exceptional virtuoso ability and musical harmony rarely found in two instrmentalists of the same genre performing together. Both active solo performers of unsurpassed spirit and flair, the duo has a refreshing stage presence and often explores a repertoire that is rarely performed because of its unusually demanding nature. They project ” virtuosic devilry and imagination…” and their playing is ” stunning and incredibly well matched”. Their presence is a highlight to any recital or concert stage.
