Takashi Kikuchi began studying the viola at Tokyo University of the Arts in 1988 where he was awarded the Doctor of Musical Arts in 2003. He came to the Royal Academy of Music in 1999 for his post graduate studies and received the teaching diploma LETTERAM and the Lawson Award. His career spans across several countries with performances in Great Britain including recitals for the Shubert Music Society, Treasury Music Society in Whitehall, Victoria and Albert Museum, Handel House Museum as well as an early evening concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall. As a member of the British Paraorchestra, Takashi performed in a number of significant events including London Paralympics Closing Ceremony and Queen's Christmas Message in 2012. He also explores some World music with the Inner Vision Orchestra and educational and outreach activities through the Amber Trust and Live Music Now.
Jozef Janik grew up in Slovakia and moved to London in 2000 to attend the Royal Academy of Music taking a Post Grad. and a Masters in piano and studying with Patsy Toh and Graeme Humphrey. He is sought after as a soloist, an accompanist, and an educator. Jozef works with a wide range of musicians and span both Classical and Jazz idioms; hence you can see him conducting Vivaldi's Gloria one day and playing jazz at The Vortex the very next day. Jozef lives in Ealing and performs locally (at the Ealing Half Marathon or Hanwell Hootie). Highlights from the past few years include venues such as The Blue Note Jazz Club and the Royal Festival Hall. He also organises concerts and workshops as he loves being an educator. Jozef currently teaches students at Ealing Junior Music School, Notting Hill and Ealing High School and St. Benedict's School. Jozef has given concerts in Austria, Sweden, France, Japan, Tunisia and Norwich, and has performed piano concertos by Mozart, Haydn, Rachmaninoff, Ravel, Schumann and Bach. Non-musical interests include playing chess, watching TED talks and go-karting with his 8 year old son.
