With humor bordering on outright comedy, they deliver a program with roots in chamber music and an amazing repertoire of modern and popular sounds.
A 300-year-old Italian string bass, a 140-year-old French cello, a Norwegian- American man and a Welsh-Belgian American woman ... add 18 years of marriage and you get a program of tremendous virtuosity, intimacy, entertainment, fun and laughter.
