With their focus on jazz, contemporary and world music, the pair perform music from France, Italy, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Ireland and more, with Emily’s language talents allowing her to sing in French, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian. They often roam around the stage and move through the audience, serenading guests, sparking spontaneous moments, and bringing a personal, feel-good energy to every show. Their repertoire is a fresh, sophisticated mix of global styles with a jazz heart – perfect for an atmosphere that’s as elegant as it is entertaining.
