It would take a very special pianist to integrate with the remarkable chemistry the sisters share—and thankfully, Rohan De Silva fits that description exactly. One of the world’s most distinguished collaborative pianists, De Silva has worked with a pantheon of great violinists, including Itzhak Perlman, Midori, Joshua Bell, and Gil Shaham. Hina and Fiona have been working with him for the past five years.
“He knows so well how to support you and also when he needs to be the star,” Hina says of De Silva, “and he can seamlessly shift through those two modes, which is so difficult to do. Whenever I play with him, I’m always inspired and enlightened.”
