THE
DUO

Andreas Landstedt and Esther Jihye Han began playing two-piano and four-hands works together in 2018, making the AndEs Duo official with a full-length debut recital in 2022. The duo has performed on international stages in the United States, Germany, and Canada to great acclaim, and has participated in numerous national and international competitions and festivals, most recently as finalist of the 2024 MTNA Stecher and Horowitz Two Piano Competition and the 2024 Internationales Klavierfestival Lindlar.

The duo has coached under Jeffrey Savage of the NFMC Ellis award-winning duo 88 SQUARED. They have performed for masterclasses with Anderson & Roe, Christina and Michelle Naughton, and the Liang-He Duo, and have received coachings from Margo Garrett, Sylvia Wang, and Alvin Chow.

Andreas and Esther were married in 2022 and are currently based in Kansas City, MO.
