  • Igudesman & Joo's "A Little NIGHTMARE Music"--This musical comedy duo, made up of Aleksey Igudesman on violin and Richard Hyung-ki Joo on piano, is all the rave!  Each is a supreme concert artist in his own right, but they have teamed up to make a delightful new comedy act that is superb and extremely funny!  Since the success, both critically and publicly, of the 2004 world premiere of “A Little Nightmare Music” at one of the most prestigious venues in the world, Vienna’s Musikverein, Igudesman & Joo have been delighting audiences all around the world in theatres, concert halls, and international festivals.  They now have a DVD which you can order at their website link above.  Below are some of Igudesman & Joo's videos:
