Janet Obi-Keller and David Wordsworth formed their duo in 2005 working together until 2013, exploring the much loved piano duet/two piano repertoire of Mozart, Schubert, Debussy, Ravel and Rachmaninov. They performed rarely heard works by Henri Dutilleux, Lennox Berkeley, John Ireland, E J Moeran, Sir Richard Rodney Bennett and Richard Arnell. Their performances have highlighted the work of a number of living composers, including Lionel Sainsbury and Hilary Tann. Their US debut in 2011 was a great success where they performed at Columbia University (New York) and Union College (New York). The Concordiensis of Union College described the Piano duo as “strong and very enjoyable”. In 2012 they performed a recital as part of ‘John Ireland in Chelsea’; a festival organised to celebrate the music of the British composer. The British Music Society noted that “all the performances had great sincerity, involvement and admirable ensemble by the duettists”.
