let us bring your event to life
We are an Atlanta based cello duo that specializes in weddings and events around Georgia and surrounding states. We began playing together as a duo in July of 2020 during a time when live music was nonexistent as a result of Covid-19. We absolutely love what we do and missed playing with other musicians, so we began playing duo music together. We have created a library of duo arrangements ranging from classical to popular tunes that will compliment any event!
We know how much hard work and time is put into planning events. We take the time to communicate so every detail is addressed. We are very passionate about what we do and we are here to work with you to curate the perfect playlist for your event. We take pride in the lengths we go through for our clients as well as the daily effort we put into our craft to provide the highest quality musical performance.

A little bit about our story…
We met in 2000 at All-State Orchestra. I was a Freshman in High School and Daniel was a Sophomore. We both studied in the cello studio of Martha Gerschefski and were members of the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra. Daniel was the principal cellist of the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra for the 2002-2003 season and I followed in his footsteps a year later and was principal for the 2003-2004 season.
After graduation, we both pursued a degree in cello performance in college. Daniel went to study with Andre Gaskins at Columbus State University for his undergrad and Southern Methodist University for his Masters where he studied with Andres Diaz. I went to Georgia State University and continued to study with Martha Gerschefski. After graduation, I started a wedding string trio business, and Daniel built an online cello teaching business (OnlineCelloLessons.org).
After graduation our paths continued to cross. We both performed in regional symphony orchestras and became interested in bluegrass music. During our free time on symphony gigs, we had bluegrass jam sessions. Over the years, we shared so many amazing musical experiences together such as performing with Josh Groban, Il Divo, Evanescence and Lindsey Stirling.
In March of 2020, our musical world was absolutely devastated. Events were canceled and we saw our work disintegrate around us. During this time, Daniel and I began to meet up and play duets together. We began to create unique classical, popular and bluegrass arrangements of familiar tunes for cello duo and solo cello. Next thing we knew, we started booking events together!
Aside from music, we both picked up playing billiards and chess. We are not pool sharks yet…but we are well on our way! We play in 3 local leagues a week and have high hopes to compete in Vegas soon.
