Acclaimed in 'The Strad' magazine for its 'rare ensemble and musical intelligence', the husband and wife duo of Hannah Roberts and Simon Parkin has gained great critical and public success both at home and abroad.

Both artists have distinguished themselves individually and in combination in competitions and festivals such as the Pierre Fournier Award, the Jacqueline Du Pre Memorial award, Tunbridge Wells International Yong Concert Artists Competition and the Manchester International 'Cello Festival.

The duo has performed regularly for BBC radio and were winners of the International Morely College Centenary Concerto Prize with a concerto written by Simon for Hannah.

Both have played regularly at such venues as London's Wigmore Hall, Royal Festival and Queen Elizabeth Halls, and other major venues across the country.

As an established duo, they have a very extensive repertoire ranging from the core standard works to arrangements made by Simon of favourites by, amongst others, Gershwin, Irving Berlin, The Beatles and Nat King Cole.
