Musicians Aleksey Igudesman and Hyung-ki Joo return to Seattle with their offbeat and hilarious theatrical show, mingling comedy, classical music, and popular culture into a unique evening that will leave you holding your sides.

Aleksey and Hyung-ki met at the age of twelve, at the Yehudi Menuhin School, in England, and since then, have remained strong friends and writing partners. In 2004, following in the footsteps of luminaries such as Victor Borge and Dudley Moore, they created their first groundbreaking show, “A Little Nightmare Music”. Since then, they have performed as a duo, and as soloists, with chamber and symphony orchestras at many of the world’s biggest stages and festivals.
