Wilde Duo

About Us

Following successful collaborations on Scott’s solo and Conceptus projects, the tenor-violin ensemble Wilde Duo was formed, featuring prize-winning virtuoso Polish violinist Klara Gronet. A mobile, collaborative and cross-genre ensemble, Wilde Duo specialises in song repertoire without piano, with performances ranging from formal concert repertoire by Gustav Holst, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Grażyna Bacewiz, to Irish and English folk ballads by Rebecca Clarke, to poetry, theatre and spoken word, depending on the venue and context.

Wilde Duo prides itself on its mobility and flexibility. Without the constraints or need for a piano, performances can take place literally anywhere, from concert halls, theatres and chamber music venues to market squares and schools. With collaboration at its heart, Wilde Duo can and does perform with a wide variety of different artists and instruments, meaning that no one performance is the same. Travelling light from place to place and working with local artists and festivals, successful performances have taken place in church services, recitals and chamber music series, with upcoming projects and tours planned in Australia, Ireland and Italy, partnering with harp and guitar.
