Duo DiMeo

SHARING, AWARENESS

We are two New York City based pianists, who love making music together and sharing it.  We are also looking to collaborate with other artists who share our philosophy, that of featuring lesser known works in the repertoire alongside standard concert pieces as well as commissioning works that explore new ways to interpret existing pieces.  

Taking our musical sharing and collaborations a step beyond just watching a concert, we would like to be able to shed light/awareness to social issues that we feel are important to the current state of humanity, so we would like to be able to partner with groups or organizations whom we will give an opportunity to share their mission during our performances.

We are two New York City based pianists who simply love to make music together, and sharing it!  We decided to form Duo Dimeo in January of 2018, after a well-received performance in November of 2017.  But, we also want to do more than just perform two-piano ensemble pieces.  We feel, that as artists/performers, we can take our performances a step further and share more with our audiences.  You can find out more in our mission page.

A few details about each of us:
