Brothers, Joseph and Daniel Tong have been playing together for over 30 years, since their performance at the South Bank Centre of Schubert’s Fantasy in F minor as teenage students at Wells Cathedral School.

This masterpiece for piano duet has remained a treasured part of their repertoire and features in their concert at Square Chapel, alongside a sparkling early sonata by Mozart, the ever-popular ‘Dolly Suite’ by Fauré and a group of dramatically expressive Legends Op. 59 by Dvořák. The Tong Brothers have broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 In Tune and given lecture-recitals on Schubert piano duets as part of their regular concert schedule. Notable performances have included Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring to celebrate the work’s centenary at Oxford University led by Dame Monica Mason, numerous recitals at the Jacqueline du Pre Music Building, visits to the Wye Valley Chamber Music Festival, Barber Institute in Birmingham, St David’s Hall Cardiff and Conway Hall in London.

Their careers as solo and chamber musicians have taken them all around Europe and beyond, but frequently they have returned to making music together, exploring the rich world of music for four hands at one piano.
