They began performing together in 2001 since when they have firmly established themselves as one of the leading piano duo partnerships. Their close collaboration stems from a shared teacher, the inspirational Irina Zaritskaya, with whom they both studied at the Royal College of Music.

Charles & Katya have appeared in concerts together at many of the UK's major festivals - Cheltenham, Leicester, Ryedale, Music in Country Churches, Oxford Chamber Music and Machynlleth.
