Duo Brikcius
The Duo Brikcius is chamber music ensemble created by two young promising cellists (brother and sister) Anna Brikcius and František Brikcius. Both founding members have a great deal with solo cello repertoire. They both decided to increase their repertoire with music written for this unusual combination (with great hidden potential) of two cellos. One of the main ideas of Duo Brikcius is to give courage to all contemporary composers (regardless to the nationality or the age) in creating music for this ensemble and to bring other people joy of music.
