Roman Simovic's brilliant virtuosity and innate musicality have taken him to all continents, performing on many of the world's leading stages. He has been awarded prizes at numerous international competitions, placing him among the foremost violinists of his generation. Not only a soloist, Roman is an avid chamber musician (a founding member of the distinguished Rubikon String Quartet) and educator. Mr Simovic is currently leader of the London Symphony Orchestra. He plays a 1709 Antonio Stradivari violin.

Equally at home as violinist and violist, Serbian Milena Simovic enjoys an international career of concerto, recital and chamber music performances. Throughout 2018-19, she is appearing as soloist across the UK & Europe. In 2017, she was principal viola of The City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. Milena received her Bachelor and Masters of Music degrees from the Belgrade University of Arts & Music, and Guildhall School of Music & Drama, with further studies with viola, completing a Masters degree at Zurich University of Arts under Lawrence Power. Milena plays a Rogeri violin c.1680 and a Testore viola from 1740.
