They went on to win prizes in several prestigious international competitions such as: First Prize and Kodama Prize at the Fourth International Piano Duo Competition in Tokyo; the Ellis Two-Piano Competition and the Dranoff International Two-Piano Competition. They were featured artists in the Gilmore International Keyboard Festival in Michigan the Symposium for Two-Pianos in Florida and the Quebec International Two-Piano Festival.
