Pianorama is a piano duet comprised of Glasgow based pianists Elena Smirnova & Kathy Chow. Having originally met in London ten years ago while studying at Guildhall School of Music and Drama, we formed Pianorama to celebrate collaboration at the piano and champion the art of the piano duet.

The name Pianorama comes from combining the words Piano and Panorama to represent our love for performing and arranging different styles of music and showcasing the versatility of the piano in a single concert, from Classical to Contemporary. We are currently working on our own arrangements of traditional Scottish music which we are keen to incorporate into our future programmes.

Pianorama debuted as an ensemble in November 2025 at Greyfriar’s Kirk in Edinburgh, and has recently performed a programme of four hands and two piano pieces at the Summer Festival in Dunkeld Cathedral and Corbenic Community Centre, and has been booked to appear there again in their summer 2027 season.
