About VSD
This exciting Duo can best be described as complex through its unique, profound understanding and expression of the music as well as its virtuoso character and a great control of highly technical skills. The idea of playing together came in 2010 when Ana and Sorana founded the "Vienna String Duo" out of their friendship and shared passion for chamber music. The main concept was to play classical music mixed with other music styles such as Klezmer, Balkan, Celtic, Latin American and even Asian music. All while maintaining their ideals and creating a colorful and entertaining repertoire to be presented and played in concert halls but also at various social events. In September 2011 the ensemble won at A. Mamriev International Music Competition in Braunschweig, Germany. Aside from classical works, Vienna String Duo also plays contemporary music and pieces of composers from all over the world such as F. Cerha and T. Hosokawa. The largest challenge for Ana and Sorana is to discover and overcome their own musical boundaries, to develop themselves and in the same time promote young composers by including their works in their repertoire and performing them on the stage.
