Today we are the mirror of our past, a past that is reflected in the future through a mirror.
In other words, we are people who have finally chosen to be themselves by accepting their own experience in its entirety.
Music is part of our nature and it is what enriches it, makes it artistic; for us it is vital nourishment and intimate personal expression.
And so this is what we offer to our audience, to you, to all those who devote their attention to us: our experience, our knowledge, our creativity.
Also in 2023 we have had numerous international awards as a duo. We remember:
1st prize at the Gabriel Fauré Music World Competition
2nd prize at the Fanny Mendelssohn competition 2023
3rd prize at the World's Best Musicians Competition
Special mention at the Medici International Music Competition
What are we doing
We create shows, using original and classic songs. We are performers and interpreters mainly of classical music and our concerts are designed in every artistic and technical aspect ranging from the preparation of original musical programs, to directorial choices, from the writing of actual screenplays, to the development of new executive formats.
Our music videos are conceived and created entirely by us as a manifestation of our creative thinking.
Follow us, listen to us, contact us.

A Georgian operatic soprano, she completed her advanced music studies at the V. Saragishvili Conservatory in Tbilisi, Georgia, studying with the renowned maestro Nodar Andguladze, with whom she continued her further training. She had previously earned diplomas in piano and choral conducting from the Tbilisi Music College. Having moved to Italy in 2006, she first attended the Academy of Lyric Art in Osimo, where she had the opportunity to take master classes with renowned singers such as Raina Kabaianska, Lella Cuberli, Antonio Juvarra, William Matteuzzi, and others. In 2011, she graduated from the three-year advanced singing program at the G. Verdi Conservatory in Milan under the guidance of Stefano Ginevra, and subsequently continued her studies with baritone Mauro Augustini. In 2026, she participated in a masterclass and concert with Maestro Leo Nucci, and in the same year, she began a collaboration with the renowned soprano Laura Groppi.
She earned the Certificate of Advanced Studies, a diploma in vocal/instrumental teaching, from the Helvetic Music Institute in Bellinzona (CH).
Numerous concerts and first roles at the Grand Hall in Tbilisi have highlighted "an interpretative sensitivity that, combined with her natural qualities and the pleasantness of her timbre, makes Guliashvili one of the most promising singers in opera" (Dilis Gazeti).
Particularly appreciated in the roles of "Melissa" (Handel's "Amadigi" in 2003), she began a fruitful collaboration with director Verena von Kessenbrock and conductor Cornelia von Kessenbrock; "Pamina" (Mozart's "The Magic Flute" in 2004-2006, directed by M. Gachechiladze); "Lisetta" (Cimarosa's "Secret Marriage" in 2006, directed by Z. Aghladze); "Bastienne" (Mozart's "Bastien et Bastienne" in 2006, directed by M. Gachechiladze); and "Gilda" (Verdi's "Rigoletto" in 2007, directed by G. Gachechiladze).
And again in 2009, she was chosen to pay tribute to soprano Daniela Dessì on the occasion of the "Città di Varese" and "Operaclick" awards.
In 2010, together with musician Michel Frequin, she created "Ventimariscelti," a creative project that brings together the duo's energies in the creation of shows with innovative content and formats. Worthy of note are "43 Tramonti," performed in Milan at the "La Scala della Vita" theater; "Linee Marine," performed at the G. Donizetti Auditorium in Sesto San Giovanni as part of the "Woman in Art" Festival; and the monumental theater project "Segreto di Stato" by Silvio da Ru, for which she lent her voice. In 2013, the two musicians created a series of musical theater productions based on Saint-Exupéry's "The Little Prince," which were particularly successful. In 2025, they presented two new shows, a revival of "Linee Marine" and "...eimprovviso lirica," which were highly successful in Milan at the Palazzo delle Stelline and the Villa Theater.
She has taught opera singing in Lugano (CH) at the Centro Studi Musicali. Since 2011, she has taught singing and piano at the Mulino Musicale association and since 2026 at the International School of Milan.
In 2024 she was invited to New York by soprano Carmela Altamura for a masterclass and since 2025 she has been represented by the opera agency "meOpera".
A classically trained Italian-Dutch musician, he earned two degrees with honors from the G. Verdi Conservatory in Milan in piano and composition, and a third degree in modern literature from the Catholic University of Milan. He studied conducting with Simone Fermani, serving as his assistant and collaborator. He also studied choral conducting at the conservatory and has been a choral director for over 20 years, working with both children's and adult choirs. Always interested in cognitive and sensorial development based on musical practice, for about twenty years he has dedicated himself to teaching, deepening his knowledge of the most recent recognized teaching methods. In 2010, he obtained a third-level "Kodaly Method" diploma in Lugano, in 2014 he obtained a "Certificate of Advanced Studies" in music education from the HMI in Bellinzona, and in 2020 a double "Master of Arts" from the Conservatorio della Svizzera italiana and the SUPSI in Locarno.
A winner of numerous competitions as a pianist and composer, his musical career has alternated periods of study with periods of public activity, specifically concert performances as a pianist or orchestra and choir conductor, event planning, music promotion, and teaching. In 2010, with his wife Marine Guliashvili, he launched a project called "Ventimariscelti," exploring new forms of musical performance. A pianist with a broad repertoire and a highly personal style, he enjoys improvisation, including those linked to imagery, movement, or theater.
He has published extensively as a composer, music theorist, and teacher.
Due to his inclination toward vocal music, he has worked extensively as a singer coach, building a broad repertoire of lieder and opera. As a composer, he has written for theater and television, collaborating with, among others, Teatro Obliquo, the Nuova scena antica association, Dagma Production, and Zeeva Production. He has written and produced soundtracks for silent films or re-soundtracked films from the first half of the 20th century. His compositions are often performed by him in Italy and around the world. His piano manual, "Milfren Quish and the Underwater World," is already used by many teachers in Italy.
In 2026, he published his "Christmas Oratory" for narrator, six solo singers, choir, and symphony orchestra with Edizioni Sonitus.
He has written theatrical pieces, always in connection with music: a text on Saint-Saëns' "Carnival of the Animals" has been particularly successful.
He has directed the classical music department and taught piano, composition, and chamber music at the SMC and CSM in Lugano. He currently teaches piano at the "Centro per lo Sviluppo del Talento," also in Lugano, and at SIMM, the International School of Milan.
He studied organ with Maestros Farina and Paolini, and enjoys playing various instruments, including the accordion and a particular type of Georgian flute, the "salamuri." His hobbies include creating websites (like this one), video editing, DIY woodworking, and chess.
