Customer questions
What do your clients love most about your performances?
The beautiful music and our relaxed convivial style of presenting. If you read some of our reviews you will see that most of our audience is captivated by our choice of music.
Which venues have you performed at in the past?
We have both performed in many different venues worldwide with different groups or solo. Animo is a new venture and so far every performance has been met with great excitement and enjoyment.
Which artists have you been most influenced by?
We each have our heroes but as a duo we are carving out our own way constantly reinventing our style and voice, learning from colleagues and audiences alike.
What is the most high profile gig you've performed?
Animo is a new venture (Covid curtailed our bookings in 2020/21). Our most ambitious gig so far was our 2019 Launch in Gloucester Blackfriars Priory. We are currently taking part in the Kindest Christmas KIND20 online worldwide music festival, December 17,2020.
Do you have different line-up options?
We are a Flute and Piano duo so it's just us two!
What if my timings change after I've booked you?
Timing changes are just like British weather to us! We plan for all eventualities. Just let us know if things change and we will do our best to accommodate.
Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?
You are very welcome to play some of our pre-recorded tracks after the final set for an additional small fee.
How much time do you need to set up?
Depending on the live event and whether we are going to be using a PA system, we require between one and two hours set up time.
Can you roam around while you perform?
As a flute and piano classical duo, we are not really able to roam while performing.
Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?
We are always open to discuss your ideas and see if we can adapt our repertoire around your requirements.
Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?
We will bring a PA only when we think it's necessary due to the size of the venue or the type of event. When we do we will quote a price that includes our equipment.
Can you learn song requests before the event?
We would be very happy to add a new piece (minimum 1 week before the event). Since we are an instrumental duo, we would have to arrange the piece and rehearse it so there is a small extra fee to reflect our work of £40 extra. It's always a pleasure doing this for clients.

Workshop based on Animo's 'new music'
Live Stream on the day.
Each workshop is unique to the venue and audience.
Animo can provide lively and educational workshop for all ages based on our diverse and vibrant repertoire of contemporary music. In particular we are keen to work with Secondary School GCSE and A level students as well as University students to talk about our experience of working with contemporary composers worldwide.
We will prepare materials which can be shown or shared prior to the workshop. We would like to engage our audience to participate for part of the workshop and we would ask for feedback at the end.
Some of the pieces we will be talking about are:
The Journey of Alan Kurdi - Animo's commission 2019
Experimenting and Improvising as a duo - getting over the fear of letting go
There will be time for questions and composition ideas workshop at the end (15').
The entire workshop will last 1h30'
