Biography: The Tuppy Duo was formed by the sisters Hemma and Freya Tuppy. Due to their passion to chamber music and the great possibility of performing together from their early childhood on, they achieved a high level of experience and sensibility in musical communication. What unites them is their great interest in the repertoire for Violin and Piano through all musical styles and their aim to deepen this passion.
