Anagnoson & Kinton are recognized today as one of the world’s finest piano duos. With over 1000 performances throughout the duo’s 40-year history, their astonishing performances have been repeatedly met with great critical acclaim across North America, Europe, China, and Russia. In addition to traditional recitals, the duo has commissioned numerous compositions, expanding the boundaries of piano-duo idiom. Respected scholars and performers, Anagnoson & Kinton’s musicianship defines the art of true ensemble playing. They first met as students at the Aspen Music Festival and in 1976, decided to include a two piano recital in their season schedules. When they first sat together to rehearse the Brahms Sonata in F Minor, what was instantly apparent was an extraordinary musical chemistry. This connection was so unusual that in the ensuing months the likes of Gina Bachauer and Eugene List heard them and, each recognizing that this pair had something quite exceptional, encouraged them to dedicate themselves to a career as a piano duo team.
