Fami and Sharon's musical partnership spans many years, but they have recently shifted their focus to dedicate themselves entirely to their piano duo performances. Their commitment to excellence and unwavering passion for exploring the piano four hands repertoire has led them to offer eclectic programmes that mix lesser-known works with their favourite masterpieces by Mozart and Schubert - two composers for whom they hold a particular affinity.
Born respectively in the Canary Islands and Belgium, Fami and Sharon have earned their Masters of Music in Advanced Performance with distinction at the Royal College of Music, London, studying under the tutelage of Irina Zaritskaya, Andrew Ball, and Yonty Solomon, who himself was a student of the legendary Dame Myra Hess.
As recitalists and chamber musicians, Fami and Sharon have performed at some prestigious concert venues in Europe and England, including the Riverhouse Arts Centre, Cheltenham Town Hall, Fairfield Hall, Steinway Hall, St Mary's Perivale, National Gallery, St James’ Piccadilly, and St Martin-in-the-Fields in London.
They have had the privilege of participating in a multitude of distinguished masterclasses with some of the world's most celebrated musicians, including Galina Eguiazarova, Pavel Gililov, John O’Conor, Dina Joffe, Edith Fischer, Josep Colom, Emanuel Ax, Paul Badura-Skoda, and Murray Perahia.
Fami's skills have been recognised through numerous international awards, including the First Prize at the Yamaha Competition in the Canary Islands, the Second Prize and Special Prize at the Pedro Espinosa Piano Competition in Spain, and the Third Prize at the Morisa Mantiel Competition in Spain. Sharon has also been recognised with several accolades, including winning both the solo and concerto competitions at the Brevard Music Center in North Carolina, USA. Additionally, he has received First Prizes at the Excellentia Competition in Brussels and the International Piano Concerto Competition in Tennessee, USA.
Their ability to seamlessly blend their individual sounds into one cohesive musical expression has earned them critical acclaim. A music critic once praised Fami and Sharon's remarkable synchronicity, stating that "their four hands played as one in an extraordinary show of togetherness."
