Antón & Maite Piano Duo is one of the most prominent Spanish groups of his generation, having toured Europe and Asia, performing in venues such as the Great Theater in Harbin (China), the Grazer Musikverein (Austria) or the Mozart Hall of the Zaragoza Auditorium. They have given interviews for radio and television and have performed as soloists with orchestras such as the Goya Symphony Orchestra, the CSMA Symphony Orchestra or the KUG Orchester, under the baton of conductors such as Miquel Rodrigo or Ralf Weikert.

The music press has described them as a duo "with great sensitivity and musical taste", with a "perfect synchronization between both pianists".

The duo began at the Conservatorio Superior de Música de Aragón with the pianist Miguel Ángel Ortega Chavaldas and the Duo del Valle, also receiving advice from the Duo Moreno-Gistaín and the recent National Prize, the Quiroga Quartet. After graduating with the best grades, they study Master of Piano Duo with the prestigious

Duo Silver Garburg, at the Kunstuniversität in Graz.

Their CD debut, produced by the IBS Classical label, which includes some the most representative works for four-handed piano by Mozart, Mendelssohn and Schubert, as well as their own transcription of a work by the American composer William Bolcom, will be released on 2020.

During the 2020-2021 season they will perform at some of the most important festivals in Spain such as the Schubertíada in Vilabertrán and the FEX in Granada, among others.
