PERFORMANCE FORMATS

SET LENGTH:

Our performances can be anywhere from a 10 minute slot (e.g. as part of a group of different staged events at festivals) to a 75 minute set in events in which we’re headlining.

PERFORMANCE STRUCTURE:

We sometimes introduce some of our pieces, often setting them within a historical or cultural context. A typical 75 minute show might include 40 minutes of duets, with 10 minutes of solo poems, 10 minutes of solo violin pieces, interspersed with a total of about 15 minutes spent interacting with the audience /introducing the pieces.
