Lestari Scholtes and Gwylim Janssens have been a piano duo since 2003. Today they are recognized as one of the most promising piano duos of their generation. Their debut at Carnegie Hall in May 2009 was praised as 'it might as well have been 25 or 30 fingers, so grand and fused was their sound. Sublime duo in top form'. The duo gave concerts throughout Europe and Asia, and in the United States and South America. They soloed with orchestras such as the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, Residentie Orchestra and the Israel Symphony Orchestra.

The duo was the winner of more than a dozen (inter)national competitions, including the Friends Wreath Competition of the Concertgebouw, and was named Radio 4 Talent of the Year in 2010. The duo is the initiator of the Piano Duo Festival Amsterdam, which had its first edition in October 2013. As a piano duo they studied with the renowned piano duo Silver-Garburg at the Hochschule für Musik, Theater und Medien in Hannover. The duo released three CDs, the most recent of which with works by Mozart and Schubert was released on Challenge Records. This was awarded no less than 4**** stars by BBC Music Magazine.
