Perseus Duo

The Perseus Duo was formed at the Royal Academy of Music, London, by violinist Anthony Poon and pianist Galin Ganchev. In the period 2016-2021 they performed extensively at the Academy, in programmes consisting of repertoire from the classical era to 20th century works. During their time at the Academy, Anthony and Galin were mentored by Michael Dussek, Jack Liebeck and Ian Fountain. As a duo, they have also attended masterclasses by other internationally acclaimed musicians, including Michael Foyle and Adrian Brendel.

In the Summer of 2021, the Duo was invited to present a recital programme of works by Enescu (Impromptu Concertante), Wieniawski (Faust Fantasy) and Schubert (Fantasy in C major D 934) in the Royal Academy of Music’s Summer Piano Festival, as well as at St James’ Piccadilly in London.

In September 2021, the Perseus Duo won the Tunnell Trust Award, which has given them the opportunity of touring in Scotland in January 2023.  Future performances include recitals in Netherhall House (London), Danny House (West Sussex), Shrewsbury School, All Saints Church Isleworth, and St James’ Church Piccadilly, with programmes including works by Mozart, Chausson, Dvorak and Brahms.
