"AVANTI"

Chamber Duo

   The instrumental duet "Avanti" is a creative union of two charming girls from Russia. Natalia Arestova (viola) - a graduate of the Ural State Conservatory, a participant in various international festivals and master classes. Oksana Gagarina (piano) - graduated from the Ural State Conservatory. She is a teacher at the conservatory, conducts active concert activities as part of various ensembles.

   The duo was created in 2015 and for a short period of time managed to win love and interest from the public, not only with the performance of classical and popular works, but also with the music of modern composers.

   The duet is interesting in that it works in different genres and directions, and thanks to the mobile composition it can perform at any venues: concert halls, museums, educational centers, schools, art galleries and music salons. At the end of December 2016, a creative trip to Germany of the instrumental duo Avanti took place (Vorpswede, Bremen, Hamburg).
