For Nigel Clayton and Imma Setiadi, bringing Classical Music to a wider audience in an engaging way has always been at the heart of their work together. Recently they have been engaged in a number of cross-arts projects, one of the most significant ones has been Debussy La Mer working with visual art and dancers at the Turner Contemporary Gallery and for Trinity Laban Arts Festival and the Deal Festival. Together they have performed recitals at the Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, St John’s Smith Square in London, various music clubs and festivals across the UK, as well as in collaboration with a choir (Joyful Company of Singers), and various charities such as ‘Everyone Matters’, ‘the Hunger Project’ and ‘Aid to the Church in Need’.

Their next projects will include a programme of music based on the Oscar Wilde’s Happy Prince and recital at the  Cowdray Hall in Scotland. Both share a love of teaching and have designed several courses/workshops in piano duet, chamber music, solo piano and Art of Teaching for aspiring musicians.
