Our story began in 2008, when we were just two students setting out to complete a university degree. A chance encounter lead to an enduring partnership between a pianist and a cellist.
Together we travelled many countries, played many concerts and won many awards.
It wasn’t until over breakfast one day that Yasmin’s father collectively called us “y-squared!” did the name take meaning. Since then we’ve strived constantly to synonymize the name Y-Squared with excellence in all aspects of music performance.
