A mother and son duo, this unique ensemble is in great demand performing frequently together internationally. Their recordings include radio performances at the US National Public Radio, Voice of America, The Bavarian National Radio, The Mexican National Radio, Voice of Israel and more.

Renowned Israeli cellist Benjamin Shapira is the winner of numerous competitions and awards. Following the footsteps of other major artists of Israeli origins, Shapira's talent was recognized at a very early age. He was hand-picked by Isaac Stern to join a small selected group of protégé young artists at the Jerusalem Music Center, where he worked under many celebrated cellists, including Janos Starker, Leonard Rose and others. After his celebrated Carnegie Hall performance of the Complete Bach Suites for Cello Solo, was immediately invited to perform the Complete Beethoven Cello Sonatas in Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall. Since, he is in constant demand as a soloist, performing all over the United States and abroad.

Pianist Shulamith Shapira was merely sixteen when she graduated from the State Conservatory of Music in Bucharest under the supervision of legendary teacher Florica Musicescu, whose list of students included such world renowned artists as Dino Lipatti and others. Ms. Shapira is a very active chamber musician and recitalist, both in her native country, Israel, as well as in the US. Among her recordings are numerous recitals recorded for the Israeli National Radio.
