Devilled Penguin - Lantivet Original

Bio

The Lantivet Duo is a dynamic musical partnership between Cornish violinist and violist Anna Brigham and Scottish pianist and trumpeter Brendan Musk. Their boundless creativity and innovation have earned them critical acclaim, with Classic FM describing them as "an eclectic bonanza" and "one of the best things to see."

With a shared passion for pushing the boundaries of the violin and piano duo format, they captivate audiences with a spellbinding blend of traditional and original pieces, inspired by the rich sounds of folk and classical music. They bring a fresh and innovative perspective to their own Celtic folk traditions, exploring the space in between the boundaries of genre. Inspired by artists such as Chris Thile, Pekka Kuusisto, and GoGo Penguin, they also draw on the harmonies of European classical music, and the rhythms and grooves of Latin America and Eastern Europe to create a unique and exhilarating sound. Their music has been hailed as "genuinely original and exploratory," and they are quickly gaining recognition as a new force on the folk and classical scenes.

Individually, Anna and Brendan have thriving freelance careers. They perform with world-class orchestras, chamber groups, and artists such as the Philharmonia, Dunedin Consort, and Bjork, have headlined at prestigious festivals, and appeared at the Royal Albert Hall, the Wigmore Hall, and Ronnie Scotts. As a duo, they have delighted audiences throughout the UK and performed for the Spanish Embassy. They are particularly proud of their Summer Garden Concert Series, now in its third year, which brings music to an intimate and unique setting. This reimagining of the roles of the audience and performer creates a truly special, connected, and communal experience.
