----------------------------------

The Latsos is an internationally known American classical piano duo formed by the husband-wife team of Giorgi and Anna Latso. Although they initially pursued solo careers, they teamed up as duo-pianists and conducted annual international tours, four-hands piano recitals and concertos for two pianos and orchestra in Europe, Russia, the Americas, and Asia. Formed in the city of Vienna in 2013, the duo is best known for their interpretations of Franz Schubert piano pieces for four-hands, and also known for their light arrangements of familiar classical pieces, movie soundtracks and show tunes, according to a press release from The Guardian, a British daily newspaper.

An intimate knowledge of the two-piano repertoire, in combination with sound command of technique and a finely developed sense of ensemble, has allowed The Latsos to focus on the nuance and detail that has won so much praise from critics: “thrilling and flamboyant, tender and passionate, vibrant and dynamic.” Internationale Chopin-Gesellschaft Vienna, Austria

Oberösterreichische Nachrichten hailed them for being “as expressive as they are technically perfect.” The Latsos are often praised for their unity of thought and execution, a music critic of their 2019 recital in Vienna wrote: "...while hearing them one thinks, not of two pianists at two pianos, but of twenty fingers at a double keyboard controlled by a single mind."

Praised by the Los Angeles Times as “impeccable by any standard, highlighted with exquisite trills, drizzling runs and precise Mozartean dynamics."
