one stream of music, one heart, one soul.”

Alma means soul

Music is a universal force, far beyond that which words can express. “Alma” means soul. The Alma Duo wants to touch, move, comfort and take the listener on a journey to the essence of our being.

They perform various songs from their extensive repertoire such as sacred pieces by Bach, Pergolesi, Caccini, Pärt, Schubert, Mozart, Piazolla...

Romantic music by Brahms, Franck, Fauré and Dvorak ; Russian music by Rimsky-Korsakov, Rachmaninov and arrange and perform folk songs for two voices, as well as a large repertoire of a capella songs
