Public liability insurance of £10 million

AZUL was formed in Mexico, 2022, where, by coincidence (or fate!), Athena and Naomi met with their violins and, after busking the streets of Tulum together, had an instant musical connection. Now based in London, the pair have united their energy and unrivalled experience in the events industry to create a unique, high impact duo show. With world-class training from the Royal Academy of Music, Trinity Laban and Oxford University, the girls combine their impeccable technical training with a love for improvisation, and combine genres from Classical to Afrobeat, House & EDM. Having played with with stars such as Ed Sheeran and Indian Idol winner Salman Ali at no less than the BRIT awards, Wembley Arena, the House of Lords, the Royal Albert Hall and for clients such as ITV and Premier League Productions, Athena & Naomi are excellently placed to light up any event, whether weddings, corporate, destination or private parties. Naomi & Athena are also available for session work and tours and will be happy to discuss your project. Just pop us a message and we'd love to chat through your ideas!

Thanks so much, Tara! We had such a wonderful time playing for your conference and are very happy to hear that you enjoyed our performance. Thanks again for having us.

Naomi & Athena performed for a high end corporate event and expectations did not disappoint. They were professional throughout and provided top quality, elegant entertainment which was exactly what we had in mind. Will definitely be hiring again!!

The duo played for my hotel event and were sooo fabulous I had guests raving about them all night! They captivated our guests with their playing and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to others considering live music. Thank you

We love high energy crossover acts like Vitamin String Quartet, Bond Quartet, Lindsay Stirling and Caitlin DeVille.

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

For JetBlue's Boston-London launch at the US Ambassador's residence. We brought a bespoke set to guarantee the atmosphere at this garden party was elegant, upbeat and the right ambience for networking!

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes! We also have the option of playing with DJ and/or Sax. We also offer the option of a violin and piano duo should your venue have a piano. Get in touch to discuss options!
