Koh-Amani Duo

Pianist Jacquelyn Koh and classical guitarist Majid Amani bring their passion for chamber music into a newly formed duo dedicated to performing forgotten masterpieces of classical music. Their first performance on 26 July, 2026 at Willoughby Uniting Church, A Musical Journey from Renaissance England to Early Romantic Italy, featured works by Orlando Gibbons (1583–1625), John Ward (1590–1638), Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741), and Ferdinando Carulli (1770–1841). Their upcoming project is a repertoire of early romantic Italian music on historic instruments.
