Praised by the press for their “haunting and picturesque” musical interpretations, the Miller-Porfiris Duo has been delighting audiences since 2005. Anton and Rita met more than 20 years ago at The Juilliard School. Their musical lineage can be traced back to distinguished pedagogues and musicians Ivan Galamian, Leopold Auer, Franz Kneisel, Joseph Joachim and Josef Bohm, who was a close friend and collaborator of Ludwig van Beethoven. In keeping with this pedigree since its formation, the Miller-Porfiris Duo has given seminars, master classes and concerts at festivals and institutions across the United States, Europe, Great Britain and Central America.

They are associate professors of violin and viola, respectively, at the Hartt School in Connecticut. Committed to expanding the repertoire for violin and viola, in 2010 they commissioned and recorded three new works for violin and viola by living composers of the Americas for their debut CD “Five Postcards.”

 Highlights of the past season included sold-out performances of the Mozart Sinfonia Concertante, Bruch Double Concerto with Lincolnc’s Symphony and a performance of the rarely performed Arthur Benjamin Romantic Fantasy for Violin and Viola with the Concert Artisits of Baltimore. They also enjoyed collaboration with Jamie Laredo, Joseph Kalichstein, and the Miami String Quarter.
