Joel and Tia are talented performers. Working together, they form a sensational Brass and Piano duo. Both highly trained classical musicians, they bring you their own unique take on much-loved music, executed with class and elegance! As experienced performers, they have entertained audiences worldwide, and have had the privilege of playing their music to members of the Royal Family. They thoroughly enjoy performing and engaging with their audiences. Individually, they have worked with top international orchestras, including the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Outside of Britain, Joel has performed with the Australian National Ballet, the Australian Urban Circus, and has toured with numerous professional show companies. Between them they have released 5 albums, spanning many musical genres from Baroque and Classical to modern-day favourites. Their debut duo album, ‘A Perfect Unison’, was released in Spring 2018 and they hope to release a new album in Summer 2026.

Joel and Tia are a delight to work with; enthusiastic, courteous and so helpful with planning the evening which went perfectly. All the audience much enjoyed their musicality and versatility. Their professionalism is obvious and the quality of music was superb. We will definitely be asking them to return. St Peter’s Church, Monks Eleigh, Suffolk.
