The artistic collaboration between Anton Isslhardt and Pongpat Pongpradit started in 2017 with the duo              “Wind & Strings”.  Both  established themselves after a while as a  leading duo  of this musical genre in South East Asia. They perform based on  a consciousness for the past, with its forgotten music traditions in the 19th century, but also  with a focus on the musical challenges of the future. Today, “Wind & Strings” are  a promising and raising duo. The fragile instrumentation requires a sensitive and artistic responsibility.  The wide repertoire contains well-made transcriptions of the Renaissance and Baroque period. Original compositions from Beethoven’s and Schubert days in Vienna lead to the musical language of Romanticism of some central and southern European masters like Johann Kaspar Mertz, Mauro Guliano, Luigi Legnani and Joaquin Rodrigo. In addition, the delightful compositions by Latin American composers from the early 20th century until the 21st century are building a strong block of their repertoire, as well as the distinguished compositions  by French composers of the early 20th century. Extended and various instrumentations are also considered for future projects, as well as challenging transcriptions with special instrumentations. The friendship between Anton and Pongpat, in combination with the artistic uniqueness of these two experienced musicians support the vision, touring around  the globe – providing fine chamber music to curious audiences
