Their name, Duo Duoro, is a nod not only to their golden instruments, but to the heart of their musical approach.
Formed with the vision of exploring the vast and unique combination of sound worlds their instruments offer, Duo Duoro transcends traditional boundaries through an expansive repertoire that includes arrangements of piano works, chamber scores, and orchestral reductions. With a diverse arsenal of instruments at their disposal, including electric and lever harps, along with alto, bass, and piccolo flutes, they invite listeners into a rich tapestry of musical colors spanning centuries.

Their mission is to extend beyond the conventional concert hall, bringing high-quality classical music to accessible community spaces like bars, restaurants, and even intimate settings like living rooms. This approach not only breaks down the barriers of classical music, making it more relatable and accessible but also fosters personal connections with their audience.
Duo Duoro's journey is not just about showcasing the adaptability and beauty of the flute and harp but also about pushing the boundaries of classical music, making it a shared experience that resonates with people across different backgrounds and musical tastes. As they continue to explore new soundscapes and celebrate the richness of the contemporary musical landscape, Duo Duoro invites everyone to join them on their journey of sharing cherished heritages and exploring new possibilities.
