About Us
Jolie Deux RVA Violin Duo
“Jolie Deux” is comprised of two professional violinists. We felt that a duo could be a creative outlet for us, and add an alternative for people wanting the sound of string music at their wedding or social event. Because there are just two of us, we can accommodate a smaller venue.
Since we started, we have played for many weddings, anniversary parties, birthday parties, receptions, etc, throughout the Richmond area. We continue to add new repertoire to our list and enjoy taking special requests and coming up with an arrangement just for your occasion.
Both of us play professionally with the Richmond Symphony and will lend our years of musical expertise to make sure your event displays a true professional style. Read more about each of us below!
