About Cello & Piano Duo

Classical CELLO and PIANO DUO with a modern twist.

Verified profile

Russian cellist Svetlana Mochalova and Ukrainian pianist Slava Sidorenko first met at the Royal Northern College of Music. A musical relationship blossomed into a personal relationship and the couple are now married. Between them, they’ve won multiple awards and performed at venues including the Purcell Room, the Barbican, Wigmore Hall and Glastonbury. As part of their mission to engage with audiences in a more imaginative way, they’ve developed their own Sveta & Slava app. This allows concert goers to see their Music a la Carte menu and vote for the pieces the duo will perform.

Svetlana and Slava recently played at our wedding and we’re so glad we managed to book them! Communication was great on the build up to the wedding. Svetlana and Slava play a variety of music and it was great to have input into the playlist. They played during our wedding ceremony and drinks reception and created the perfect ambience (Bridgerton vibes!). We’ve had so many compliments from our guests, we couldn’t recommend them enough, the perfect cello piano duo for your wedding! Thanks, Emily & Steve.
