The Albedo duo is first and foremost a friendship. A friendship born in the corridors of the Geneva conservatory. The opportunities for performances then took place in the context of the piano and the violin. This before Helena Duckert traded her violin for singing. It is the casual love of music and sharing that will push Salomé and Helena to continue their duet in a new artistic approach. They choose to play for an audience, however eclectic it may be.

Sharing is then the leitmotif around which the Albedo duo revolves. Its name recalling the white work of alchemists or the reflection of light, tends to reflect the freshness and dynamism of a youth turned towards being.

Deviating as much as possible from an elitist atmosphere and considered dusty by some uninformed, the Albedo duo assumes the non-standard side of their philosophy. Through their love of the stage, Salomé and Helena invite us to daydream, smile or cry, in lively, timeless music, and transport the time of a concert to an "elsewhere" whoever listens to it.

The Albedo duo takes you on a journey... Let yourself be transported!
