Eva Tebbe- harp & voice
Ekaterina Levental- harp & mezzosoprano
Duo Bilitis (named after the `Musique de scene pour les Chansons de Bilitis` by Claude Debussy) has made a name for themselves since their establishment in 2004, by their remarkable line-up, captivating and talked-about programs and intense interplay. Besides their passion for the same instrument the harpists Eva Tebbe and Ekaterina Levental also share a musical mentality; they gladly seek new adventures and avoid concessions and compromises. Ekaterina Levental’s double-role gives the duo an unique position within chamber music circles and renowned venues, theatres and concert halls throughout the world.
Duo Bilitis’ substantial repertoire includes 20th century music and contemporary music, with a special focus on thematic concert programs and collaborations with theatre and dance.
Duo Bilitis won the International Chamber Music Competition in Almere, Holland (2008), the fifth edition of the UITMARKT chamber music competition in Amsterdam (2008) and is finalist of the International Jewish Music Competition 2010.
"Ekaterina and Eva are gifted with extraordinary musicality, professionalism and dedication. Because of the interesting combination of their ensemble and their stunning performance capacities, they manage to captive any audience.
Not only should I describe a concert of the Duo as moving, but they bring a sense of humor to their performances as well”.
Emmy Verhey, concert violinist.
