Their goal is to share with the audience these beautiful songs of Germany; songs that are, romantic, fun yet dramatic and unforgettable things which are vital ingredients in life. Anoki and Stelios, so talented, have a vast vocal range they can be judged individually and in duets the two are gifted in their vocal dexterity, with velvet, sensual and gentle yet, deep voices. I have not found anyone who was not 'blown away', by the magic felt listening their multi-faceted voices, with duets and solos they cover a range of notes and emotions, from a sweet soaring falsetto to an attitude-laden, long, low, profound sound. Plotinos is equally at home, performing solo recitals, chamber music with singers and instrumentalists and as soloist. His playing dovetails with Anoki and Stelios absolutely perfectly.
