Helen Crayford (piano) / Marcia Crayford (violin)
The Crayford Duo was formed on the initiative of both sisters, who had pursued separate successful careers for many years and felt a need to combine their complementary talents and musical tastes. Their programmes reflect their chief musical enthusiasms - English, French, American and Eastern European composers, with special emphasis on the late 19th / early 20th century repertoire.
