Willinger Duo

The Willinger Duo, brothers Elisha and Lior Leigh, is dedicated to pushing the boundaries of the clarinet and piano duo by embracing a multidimensional approach to citizen artistry. The Duo is passionately committed to delivering exciting performances to audiences, expanding the repertoire for clarinet and piano by commissioning and transcribing works written by composers from diverse backgrounds, engaging with communities through interactive performances, and sharing the fun and importance of collaboration through educational outreach.

The Willinger Duo is flexible to presenting a vast array of programming. Connecting with our Jewish roots, we have presented concerts featuring Jewish composers. We are at home with the traditional masterworks through the avant-garde and seek to make classical music fun and accessible to audiences of all ages. If you are interested in booking the Willinger Duo for a concert, presentation, educational outreach, or have any questions for us, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us!
