The musicians are constantly working on their repertoire and creating their own arrangements. Renaissance and Baroque music, Impressionism, folk music as well as Latin American music of the 20th century are part of the duo's programme.
Evgenia Markova started playing music at the age of six. The first time she went to a music school to choose an instrument, she heard the domra and immediately fell in love with it.

After graduating from music school in 2002, she entered the St. Petersburg Music College and then continued her studies at the St. Petersburg Conservatory (Academy) named after Rimsky-Korsakov. She graduated in 2012.
Vladimir Kirasirov has been playing music since the age of 4. He started taking piano lessons from his mother and then entered a music school. Besides the piano, he was interested in other musical instruments, especially the guitar.

In 2002 Vladimir entered the St. Petersburg Musical Lyceum, then - the St. Petersburg Conservatory (Academy) named after Rimsky-Korsakov.

After finishing his studies in St. Petersburg in 2011, Vladimir entered the Maastricht Conservatory in the class of Carlo Marchione. After two years he obtained his Master's degree in the Netherlands

Duo instruments
The instrument was purchased in St. Petersburg, when Evgeniya entered the music school. The warm and relatively matte timbre of the domra immediately came to the young artist's liking and, to a great extent, influenced the formation of her performance technique.

The instrument was presented to Vladimir by grateful listeners and the Netherlands - John and Manon Machiels. Wandervogel - an instrument created at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in Germany is a hybrid of guitar and lute. This instrument owes its birth to the eponymous German youth movement Wanderfogel (German for "Migratory Birds"), which existed from 1890 to 1936.
