Violinist Charmian Stewart and cellist Amanda Craver have been performing together as a duo for over 11 years.

Combined they have an impressive musical resume including multiple music degrees from the University of Fredonia and the Cleveland Institute of Music; performances with the New Century Chamber Orchestra, Marin Symphony, The Chieftains, Barry Manilow, Dave Brubeck, Sharon Jones and the dap Kings, the scorpions; and they actively perform in the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music and the Mill Valley Philharmonic.

They have been on the faculty at many schools including Heartwood school, Marin Waldorf, San Domenico Music Conservatory, and Ross School. They both currently run private string studios and are co-directors of the Ross Valley String Ensemble.

While they play a wide range of music, everything from classical pieces to pop songs, they specialize in performing Celtic and Scandinavian music.

With their classical training, progressive string techniques, and folk music experience, they perform a wide variety of tunes in an authentic and fresh way.

Most of their arrangements are for violin and cello, but they have recently begun to arrange music for nyckelharpa and scordatura violin, and the combination of these instruments produces a unique sound rich in overtones and harmonies.
