The Piccadilly Duo: Crafting Musical Magic With a whopping 15 years of music devotion behind us, we've earned our stripes as scholars at the esteemed Royal College of Music in London. But we're not your typical scholars; we're a dynamic duo, passionate performers, solo stars, and ensemble enthusiasts. We bring a touch of classical finesse to every gig, obsessing over the tiniest of details to make your event truly special. Maria - The Singer and Violinist Meet Maria - a singer with a voice that can soothe your soul and move your feet. She's spent years perfecting her vocal chops, learning from the best like West End vocal coaches. Her voice? Smooth as silk and as versatile as they come. Maria doesn't just sing; she tells stories with her songs. And she's not just a singer; she's a wizard with the violin too. That's right, she doubles the magic with her strings, adding a unique twist to our performances. Gabriel - The Piano Maestro Gabriel is our piano virtuoso, and boy, can he tickle those ivories! As a Cotes-Burgan Scholar backed by the L.G. Harris Trust Scholarship at the Royal College of Music, he's got the classical chops down pat. He's won awards and wowed audiences at international piano competitions, but his talents don't stop there. Gabriel's a musical chameleon. He can go from classical to pop to jazz with ease. He's not just a pianist; he's a music producer and session musician, making him a Swiss Army knife of musical talent. This versatility means we can play anything from timeless classics to the latest hits, and it all sounds phenomenal. Together, Maria and Gabriel are a musical dream team, blending classical elegance with contemporary flair. Our journey through music has shaped us into performers who don't just play or sing; we create unforgettable sonic experiences. Our time at the Royal College of Music has been a melting pot of influences, and we're ready to share our unique sound with the world. When you book us, you're not just getting musicians; you're getting a musical journey that'll leave your guests raving. We're not just here to play; we're here to make memories, one note at a time. So, are you ready to be serenaded by the magic of The Piccadilly Duo?

Maria and Gabriel were playing romantic songs during my wedding. They created a magical atmosphere which made this day unique. Thanks to their music, we felt amazing. Everyone was touched, me and my husband felt like in the fairytale. They put a big effort to prepare and organise this performance, everything was perfect for what we are really thankful. I hope there will be a chance in the future to ask them to play during another event important for us.

Maria and Gabriel played during our wedding ceremony a few years ago. The sounds of the beatiful voice and piano, as well as Maria’s violin, created the perfect musical ambiance on our special day. We can’t stress enough how fantastic it is to have quality music during the wedding ceremony. We couldn't have dreamed of better musicians. To this day, our guests recall the beautiful musical setting of our wedding.
