The Fauré Duo

Introduction

Peggy and Claire formed The Fauré Duo two years ago with a view to exploring unusual cello and harp repertoire. The beautiful combination of these two instruments is particularily apparent in baroque and romantic pieces. The Fauré Duo has performed at a number of high venues including Kensington Palace, the Victoria and Albert museum and Kew gardens, and were finalist at the 5th international chamber music competition in Arles, France in 2003.
