Animo is a Contemporary Music flute and piano duo and the result of a 15-year friendship between flautist Sarah and pianist Yanna.
Animo = spirit, mind, emotion, intent, feelings.
We indulge in performing challenging music that has its roots in Jazz or World music and creates soulful soundscapes, tells a story and is based on 20th and 21st century music compositional traits.
Our performance style is inclusive, open, fun and laid back. We thrive in creating a connection with our audiences.
ANIMO can tailor music to suit all audiences and ages. For samples of programmes and to book us, please have a look at Concerts and Bookings.
We would be delighted to offer one of our exciting programmes for your venue or special event. To get in touch with us visit the Contact page
