Duo Fedone
About us
and our name
Two stories, two musicians, two passions: music and philosophy.
And Mozart was the matchmaker with his duet in G major.
“Philosophy is the highest music” (Plato, Fedone)
It’s the close relationship between philosophy and “mūsikḗ – the Art of the Muses”. The Muses’ gift of Truth suggests that music may be more suited than verbal language to express the deep meaning of things, life, the world, and truth itself. The connection between music and philosophy is complex, vital, and still today a rich source of inspiration for fruitful speculation.
A tribute to Plato, philosophy, and all philosophers, reflecting our conviction that
our music is identified with the search for Truth.
