ARKAI - GRAMMY Award-winning String Duo

ARKAI is a GRAMMY Award-winning string duo of violin and cello, presenting a concert in London at Piano Smithfield that combines live strings with electronics and immersive production.

ARKAI is a duo formed by violinist Jonathan Miron and cellist Philip Sheegog, who met while studying at The Juilliard School. Their music blends acoustic violin and cello with live electronics and staged production, and it has been compared by commentators to the work of Hans Zimmer and the cello ensemble 2CELLOS. Their latest album, Brightside, won the 2026 GRAMMY Award for Best Contemporary Instrumental Album.

The duo has performed at Carnegie Hall, the GRAMMY Museum, the EMMY Awards and Madison Square Garden, and has worked with Lindsey Stirling, Jon Batiste and Tony Ann. The London performance is presented as a live show in which the two players are joined by electronic elements and immersive production.

The programme will appeal to listeners drawn to cinematic music, post-classical writing and film scores. Piano Smithfield is a London venue hosting concerts and shows.
