Formed in 2017, the Maharaj/Degavino duo takes great pleasure in sharing flute and piano programmes across the UK. Some particular highlights have been performances at St Martin in the Fields, St James’ Church, Piccadilly and Petworth Festival. They have enjoyed performing extensively for music societies and festivals, including as former Countess of Munster Recital Scheme artists, Tunnell Trust award winners and Park Lane Group artists.
Meera Maharaj (Flute) and Dominic Degavino (Piano) both undertook postgraduate studies in London, at the Royal Academy of Music and Guildhall School of Music and Drama, respectively. Initially meeting during their undergraduate years at the Royal Northern College of Music, specifically during a big band project, they realised that they both share a love of jazz. In addition to that passion, they also enjoy contemporary classical repertoire and endeavour to incorporate these interests into their recitals.
They are artists on the Live Music Now Scheme, and they were 2018/19 artists on the Wigmore Hall Chamber Tots scheme.
