Over the years, they have performed on prestigious stages throughout England, China, Australia, the United States, Singapore, France, Italy, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, bringing their artistry to diverse audiences and cultural landscapes. Their professional development has also included the privilege of taking classes and rehearsing at the Royal Opera House in London, further enriching their artistic vocabulary and experience.
