Klíma Duet – Musical duo

What we do?

Who we are

Welcome to our website. We are Lukas and Richard, a father and son musical duo from Prague, the Czech Republic. We are both predominantly violinists but during our gigs we use many other instruments, from guitars to the double bass to a church organ.

Our music

Besides classical music, jazz standards and several compositions of our own, we focus mainly on the music of French jazz-rock violinists Jean-Luc Ponty and Didier Lockwood, and the British progressive rock group Emerson, Lake & Palmer.

Our concerts

We enjoy switching instruments and genres at our gigs and often within one song. A varied repertoire has always been our goal and we stick to the principle that every performance will be at least 50 percent different from the previous one. Improvisation is also an important part of our concerts.
