The Ariel Duo unites two talented and versatile musicians, specializing in both classical and jazz music. Their richly diverse repertoire comprises transcripts of Bach to arrangements of music by the Beatles. For intimate musical settings, the darker and warmer tone of the wooden flute interwoven with the classical guitar adds elegance to your memorable occasion. Variably, the inclusion of clarinet or saxophone provides just the right flavor to Klezmer or bossa nova pieces. J.
