Duo de Compostela
Formed in 2023 at the Royal Academy of Music, Duo De Compostela brings together violinist Takanori Okamoto and pianist Lily Petrova. United by a shared curiosity and versatility, the duo explores a wide range of repertoire - from classical masterworks to contemporary sound worlds.
Since their formation, Duo De Compostela have been coached by Levon Chilingirian, Joanna MacGregor, and Adrian Brendel, among others, and were awarded First Prize at the Royal Academy of Music Duo Competition. In the summer of 2025, they completed a residency at Santiago de Compostela, deepening their artistic partnership through intensive performance and collaboration.
The duo’s upcoming engagements include recitals at Leighton House and The Goods Shed, Tetbury, continuing their commitment to presenting both beloved and rarely heard works with imagination and vitality.
