CHRISTMAS WITH TWO VIOLAS

"Prague Viola Duo is comprised of excellent players. They are both successful at concerts and competitions. It is my pleasure to say that the duo is a very promising ensemble with a high degree of musicality. Tomáš and Jakub are also very intelligent and hardworking people and I wish them only the best".
