"You two play with such sensitivity and support of one another - truly a great chamber music experience. You brought out elements of the piece that I had hoped were there - the calm and the color especially... Thank you for bringing to life what I imagined. I hope you will play the piece again!"

Consummate performers, their repertoire is expansive - and during introductions, they'll often share fascinating details. It's no wonder that in several months, they've quickly become audience favorites."

"The concert you gave this week at the East Columbia Library was so amazing! I enjoyed EVERY minute of it! It was almost as if three or four musicians were playing at the same time the way your instruments complemented and 'bounced off' each others' melodies!

"What a gift you both have and also the blessing of meeting each other and being able to combine your talents to give such joyful listening to others! The preface you gave to each piece was done so perfectly, too! Thank you for sharing your talents with us."
