Anton y Maite Piano Duo is an internationally recognised Spanish duo and a laureate of competitions including the Anton García Abril Chamber Music Competition, the Concurso de Juventudes Musicales de España, the Luigi Zanuccoli International Competition, the Concurso Mirabent i Magrans and the Manhattan Music Competition in New York. It is the first Spanish ensemble to have been named an ambassador for Austrian music through the NASOM 2026/2027 programme of Austria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Their recordings, released by IBS Classical and Naxos Grand Piano, have received the Melómano de Oro distinction, and their latest album, Mort au Printemps, was nominated by the Academia de la Música Española for Best Classical Album in 2026.
Over more than ten years, the duo has performed in landmark venues across Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa, including the Palau de la Música Catalana, Teatro de la Maestranza in Seville, Sala Mozart, Fundación Juan March, the Kraków Philharmonic, the Brno Philharmonic (Czech Republic), Stefaniensaal im Musikverein (Austria), Sociedad Filarmónica de Lima (Peru), Harbin Grand Theatre (China) and Musaion Theatre (South Africa).

They have also appeared at festivals including the Schubertíada de Vilabertran, the Rafael Orozco Piano Festival, the Panticosa International Festival, Granada’s FEX, the Berlin Piano Duo Festival, the NAK Contemporary Music Festival and Festival Tra Lago e Monti in Italy. They have collaborated with orchestras including the Cusco Symphony Orchestra, the Kraków Philharmonic, the Salon Music String Orchestra in Pretoria, the Orquesta Ciudad de Zaragoza, the Symphony Orchestra of the Kunstuniversität Graz and the Symphony Orchestra of the Conservatorio Superior de Aragón, under conductors including Ralf Weikert, Lukasz Brokowicz, Miquel Rodrigo and Theo Tupayachi.
Their commitment to bringing music to audiences of all kinds has led them to specialise in creating conceptual programmes. This constant exploration of new forms of expression is also reflected in their own arrangements, transcriptions and compositions, as well as projects to rediscover, edit and record lesser-known repertoire.
This artistic range and strong stage personality make the duo one of the most versatile and charismatic ensembles of their generation.
