The duo team have been selected as the only Canadian team to take part in the second round of the 15th International Music Tournament (TIM 2012) in Verona, Italy. The two pianists work under the guidance and mentorship of one of the most accomplished piano duos Kenneth Broadway and Ralph Markham.

Mozart - Sonata for two pianos in D major, K.448
Arensky - Suite No. 1, op. 15
Brahms - Variations on St. Anthony Chorale (commonly known as Variations on a Theme by Haydn)
