We are Aubrey and Olivia, an identical twin violin-cello folk duo from Chandler, Arizona.
Our musical training began with classical music and quickly evolved to include many other styles. Now, you’ll find us playing everything from traditional Irish and Scandinavian tunes to jazz standards and original compositions.
Check out our debut EP As I Wander, released in April 2025, and keep a look out for the release of our second EP Evelyn in September 2025!
Aubrey Breen
Aubrey Breen is a cellist who loves going on adventures and meeting new people. She grew up in Chandler, Arizona, but spends most of her time in South Bend, Indiana, studying music, marketing and theology at the University of Notre Dame. The best part of her week is singing with her friends in the Notre Dame Folk Choir.
In May 2022, she traveled to Jerusalem with the Folk Choir to record The Passion, for which she arranged string parts. Her other projects involving the choir include arranging and performing Joe Troop’s “Rearrange My Heart” and coordinating and playing cello in the choir’s Spring 2023 tour on the East Coast, including The Town Hall (NYC), Strathmore (Bethesda, MD) and The Byham Theater (Pittsburgh, PA). She loves trading music recommendations and reading.
Olivia Breen
As an accomplished violinist and fiddler, Olivia finds great purpose in sharing and connecting with people from cultures around the world. As an educator, Olivia values the relationships and trust she builds with her students to be the necessary foundation for all learning and development.
After graduating from the University of Colorado Boulder with a Bachelor of Arts in Music, Olivia returned to her home in Arizona and joined the studio of Taylor Morris as an Associate Teacher. She is entering her second year as the Teaching Assistant at the Tetra Chamber Music Institute, a program that helps students develop chamber music proficiency alongside interpersonal skills such as leadership, problem solving, and empathy. You’ll also find her coaching sectionals at high schools and middle schools in the East Valley, and teaching general music and orchestra at Bella Montessori. Olivia co-founded a bluegrass band called Honeyshed String Band during her time in Colorado, performing at diverse venues throughout the state from Boulder farmer markets to Rocky Mountain weddings. Part of her collegiate studies included a year abroad in Galway, Ireland, fully immersed in Irish culture by performing and playing sessions in all corners of the island. Both of these experiences heavily influence her playing style today.
Additional teaching experience includes her position as assistant faculty at the Mike Block String Camp, and spearheading curriculum for workshops with organizations such as The Harmony Project, a nonprofit that provides music education to students in underserved communities.
