Reviews and testimonials
The public of demanding amateurs and professionals loved the Ebano ensemble by its musicality, its outstanding coordination and its sound balance, qualified as "perfect". I certify that the EBANO Duo is one of the best chamber ensembles we had in years.

Their playing of miniatures by Lutoslawski, Berg and Omizzolo was a lesson in real chamber music playing. Listening to each other as their kaleidoscopic sense of colour and range of sounds was perfectly matched to create the atmosphere and character that brought these works vividly to life.

Black is the color that clarinet, bass clarinet, piano and Seaboard® have in common. Like the blackbird in the song by Lennon/McCartney, we want to learn how to fly, explore new musical territories, and shape a more authentic and personal voice.
Blackbird (r)evolution is a canvas of Duo Ebano’s features, like a bizarre mirror where you can dive in. In a mirror we just see a reflection, which doesn’t necessarily show what
we really are. By not accepting the first impression, we can learn how to see beyond the mirror, “take these sunken eyes and learn to see.”
