    Overview

    AKMI Duo was formed when Valentine Michaud, from France, and Akvile Sileikaite, from Lithuania, met in Switzerland in 2015 at Zurich University of the Arts while studying for their Masters as a saxophone soloist and piano accompanist. They are truly passionate about modern and contemporary music, performing with undisguised joy.
