“With Duo Renard we offer each of our listeners the most personal kind of chamber music experience. User-friendly, hands-on great music.”


Technical brilliance and musical sensitivity have become a trademark for the violin-viola ensemble Duo Renard.  Critics on both sides of the Atlantic have praised their “sumptuous sound” and “mature artistry.”  The Frankfurter Rundschau described their performance as “an evening of ever-increasing musical excitement.”  The Cologne Stadt-Anzeiger acclaimed them for being “perfectly attuned to one another.”

Their newest recording, The Deeper Magic:  Music from 20th Century America for Violin and Viola (Musicians Showcase), garnered high praise from Fanfare magazine, which declared “These are marvelous string players . . .” The Köln-Bonner Musikkalendar called their first CD -- of works by Fuchs, Kühnl and Martinu -- “a treasure trove for lovers of intimate string sound.”
