duoDorT was formed in 2003 to specialise in contemporary music combining the powers of piano, keyboard and electronics in any combination. Recent works include scores especially written for the duo by Peter Wiegold and Colin Riley which received their premieres at Brunel University, London. Their repertoire also includes works by Graham Fitkin, Jamie Telford and Stephen Montague. Kate Halsall and Semra Kurutaç are also members of the internationally renowned six piano ensemble pianocircus.
The name duoDorT is a fusion of our combined British and Turkish roots. Duo, meaning a partnership of two players and dort (or dört in Turkish) translating as the number four; two pianists, four hands.
