Violin and Piano
Merel and I began to play as a Violin and Piano Duo in January 2010. Our first recital was somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean on board 'Ventura', and we have since performed on board the whole P&O fleet. We also perform in a wide range of Venues in London including care homes, hospitals and churches. In 2015 our highlight concert was in aid of Cancer research, and held in Glove Up Gym in Wandsworth, performing in the boxing ring!
We have a repertoire of light classical, jazz and film music, including excerpts from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Gershwin favourites such as 'It Aint Necessarily So', and music from the film 'Amelie'.
