Amphion
Demo: Corelli's Adagio JS Bach - Air G.F.Handel - Minuet A.Vivaldi - The Rain Handel - Arrival of the Queen of Sheba The Beatles - Yesterday	Amphion comprises of Jennifer on the baroque violin and Yair with his lute. This duo explores the rich and warm sonority of bowed and plucked gut strings played on baroque violin and theorbo. Yair's instruments are one of a kind, and Jennifer plays an original Chappuy made in 1770 and uses historic copies of period bows. Named after the mythological lyre player, who built the walls of Thebes moving the stones to fall in their places by the beauty of his playing, the duo plays with great emotional depth coupled with the highest technical command and a wonderfully expressive sound. Yair and Jennifer play regularly together and their sensitive and spontaneous performances have delighted audiences all over the UK. Yair musical sensitivity, warm sound and imaginative programmes have won him international acclaim. He is a much sought-after continuo player and has played and recorded with I Barrochisti (Switzerland) and the ensemble Galatea (Italy). In the U.K. he has played with the Academy of Ancient Music, the English Concert, the City Choir and the John Smith's Square Orchestra. He appeared at the Edinburgh Festival in 2003 playing with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra under Emanuelle Haim and in 2004 in a concert with countertenor Andrew Watts and the Cleveland Orchestra. Yair studied lute and continuo playing with Stephen Stubbs in Bremen, Germany. In 1999 he won the Marco Fodella scholarship to study with Paul Beier in Milan, Italy, and in 2002 he completed his Masters at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama under William Carter and David Miller. Jennifer is one of the most promising baroque musicians in the UK today. While a student at the Purcell school, she won the Malcolm Sargent Award and made several appearances as a concerto soloist in Prague and the UK, including a performance of Malcolm Arnold's double violin concerto in the presence of the composer and a Radio 3 broadcast. Jennifer went on to study with Simon Fischer at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London, where she first started playing the baroque violin studying with Rachel Podger. This led to further studies with Pavlo Besnosiuk at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague, Holland, where she has given many concerts with renowned orchestras.
