Origin story…

So who are we?

Here’s the story of Duo Perdendosi, our co-founders and lead artists:

Tong Wang and Maitreyi Muralidharan were bunk mates at Brevard Music Festival in 2012, and promptly lost contact for almost ten years, watching and supporting each other’s life journeys from afar. They rekindled their friendship when Maitreyi started school at McGill University, and being distant friends, decided to work together as part of Trio Eudaemonia. Their similar approaches to music and art as a window into a beautiful world of connection, passion for food and community building, and love of working together sparked the beginnings of what would become Duo Perdendosi.

Both coming from conservatory backgrounds, they recognized a need for classical and contemporary music to move away from convention and move towards connection. They saw music as a tool to connect land and people and formed the Windwood Music Festival in order to explore this connection with other artists who felt as they did and to build a community that valued these connections. As a performing duo, Maitreyi and Tong have performed in Canada and Germany and have a tour in the works for 2023. Outside of performing, they enjoy cooking, writing, and each other’s company.
