A string duo sounds like a string quartet, but only has two players and is consequently much better suited for either smaller budgets or smaller spaces! Whilst known for playing violin duets, we also offer the option of violin and cello (or violin and piano) – please see our external website for details.
Both of us are established professional players and teachers, working for the Jersey Music Service and the Jersey Academy of Music. We met through work and through playing together in local orchestras, started playing duets together, and the rest is an ongoing story.
Members:
Veronika Mikulinova Benhakak (violin)
Julie Michelle Robinson (violin/cello/piano)
