Claire Wickes, a recent Oxford Graduate, and Elaine Ruby, graduate from the Royal Academy of Music, met and first performed together whilst participating in the London Symphony Orchestra Saint Luke's Academy 2011.

Both keen chamber musicians, they are now studying for their Masters degree at the Royal College of Music, where they formed their duo “ Venti Diversi ”, and are constantly exploring and performing the repertoire for this unusual combination of instruments, along with making their own arrangements.
