As we all know, the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has seriously impacted the arts, and live performance across all genres. The Tadioli Duo has suspended all live performance for the time being, with great hopes for good health and lots of live music resuming in the summer 2021 season.

SCHOOL SHOWS
The Tadioli Duo has two school presentations, designed for both younger and teenaged viewers. Each presentation has a run time of approximately 45 minutes, plus additional time for questions. Presentations for younger viewers include an introduction to our instruments and how they work, audience interaction with a simple rhythmic pattern and singing, plus several different accessible selections of music from the Classical, Folk and Popular world.
​
Presentations for middle school and high school students include a more in-depth look at techniques and historic approaches to the instruments and musical developments, as well as a bridging of worlds from the Baroque, Classical, Folk and Popular worlds. For a classroom sample, taken live from our presentation at Port Credit Secondary School, please see our video link here.
​
The Tadioli Duo prefers to perform unplugged whenever possible, however we do appreciate the use of a speaking microphone at all school events, and depending on the performance space, an amplification system may be required.

"Thank you, once again, for coming to Port Credit. You both played so beautifully and it was a special day for me as a Tadioli violin owner. the students and staff spoke very highly of your presentation (and playing). It was educational, engaging, and entertaining. Thank you, again, for a fantastic morning!"
