Repertoire
From Baroque to brand new – original works and orchestral transcriptions for piano four hands and for two pianos.
Our repertoire goes from baroque music to brand new pieces, so we can show the full range of what a piano duo can do. We play original works written for two pianos and for piano four hands, but also our favourite orchestral pieces in special versions for piano duo, so listeners can hear familiar music in a clear, direct way.
We love combining well-known composers such as Brahms, Schubert, Debussy, Rachmaninoff and Ravel with music by living composers. Several composers – among them Chiel Meijering, Diderik Wagenaar, Francis Shaw and David Rowland – have written new works especially for us, and we enjoy giving these pieces their first performance.
In our programmes we like contrast: intimate miniatures next to powerful, almost orchestral works, and classical masterpieces next to surprising discoveries.
