About Elektra
Internationally renowned duo Elektra was founded 12 years ago, aiming to bring music of every genre to all and to break down any barriers and preconceptions in classical music. Since their first show in 2010, Elektra have toured the world. Their full time schedule of performances have taken them to America, Australia, Africa, Asia and throughout Europe. They captivate audiences, bringing some of the best loved music to life with a high energy and spectacular stage show, combining musical virtuosity with personality, humour and joy.
They have shared the stage and performed alongside legends such as James Taylor and Jools Holland and have both individually and collectively recorded and toured with artists including Liam Gallagher, Bryn Terfel, Andrea Botcelli, Shirley Bassey and many more. They have also made several TV appearances.
Whether playing on the international stage with full big band accompaniment, or sharing an intimate performance in their own community, Elektra’s passion for connecting with their audience is central to every show.
