This well established and exciting duo has performed regularly throughout the British Isles.

Fiona Cross is one of the leading clarinettists of her generation, with "charismatic musicianship" (The Guardian). She appears regularly with the Royal Philharmonic and Bournemouth Symphony Orchestras. She plays with several chamber groups and is often seen at London's Wigmore Hall.

Hugh Webb is well known in the London commercial music field, providing soundtracks for films such as The English Patient and Four Weddings and a Funeral. He has produced classical CD recordings and has recorded with Jose Carreras, Petula Clark and Tony Bennett.

"wide tonal range.. adding ornaments and cadenza-like flourishes with winning ease" (The Guardian)
