Growing up in England, Richard once played in concert at Her Majesty's Theatre in London with America's internationally famous guitarist, Chet Atkins.  Julie was raised in Dayton, OH, trained at Interlochen Center for the Arts and the Cincinnati Conservatory. 

Audiences delight in the mix of Julie's emotional depth and Richard's flawless technique. They are truly soul mates -- in life and in music! This couple is driven by the passionate dedication to measure the boundaries of the unusual combination of guitar and cello.
