The London Piano Duo formed in early 2023 and are developing four-hand repertoire to tour around schools, cruise-ships and various concert venues in UK and Europe. Forming after their time spent at The Guildhall School where they first met, the piano duo showcase not only four-hand music, but also, collaborate with other artists to create cross-disciplinary programmes that are interactive and immersive.

In this project, The London Piano Duo collaborated with Joshua Shea who is an actor, filmmaker, writer and director and recently produced his second short film “Before The Tide Comes In.”
