  • A special offer for 2021: we’ll play a request of your choice for free, assuming it is easily adaptable for the duo!
  • If no piano is available at the venue, we take along a high quality portable digital piano to engagements.

These musicians have had many years of experience and would add a touch of class to your special day so sit back, relax and enjoy the rich harmonies of the piano and sonorous sound of the violin.

The Pianist studied at The Royal Welsh College of Music, after deciding not to take on the family farm! Previously he has performed concertos by Mozart, Shostakovich, Schumann and Rachmaninov.  It is for his sensitivity in chamber music and accompanying that he is now best known.  He has given concerts in Latin America and Africa as well as many parts of the UK. He also makes frequent trips all over the world, including New Zealand, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Middle East and India for his work as an International examiner of music.

The Violinist studied at The Royal Academy of Music and has performed in the BBC Philharmonic, English String Orchestra, Northern Ballet, Scarborough Spa orchestra, and Sinfonica de’ll Emiligia Romagna, Italy. She is a session musician recording tracks for tv, adverts & films. She played for the Queen for her Jubilee Celebrations and has played under conductors such as Yehudi Menhuin and Zubin Mehta and performed in venues such as The Royal Festival Hall and the Konzerthaus in Berlin. She loves playing in small chamber ensembles. 

The Midlands Violin and Piano Duo are happy to travel across the Midlands for weddings and events.
