The Christmas Duo consists of Robin El-Hage and Gustavo Cabrera, both graduated cum laude from the Rotterdam Conservatory of Music. As the name suggests, they have put together a show especially for Christmas. Here, American and Dutch Christmas hits are played on accordion, or piano and violin.
R&G creates a beautiful Christmas atmosphere at occasions such as Christmas markets, company receptions and sing-along concerts for the elderly. It is possible to book the duo as a piano violin or accordion violin.

Robin zat achter de piano bij het ontvangst van onze gasten. Flexibel in wat hij speelt, ook op aanvraag. Aanrader dus!
, De Locatie Expert
Trio Fraguro was of great value at our company party! Despite the Spartan location, which made the room icy cold and required them to play on a loft, Robin and the men remained cheerful and positive. They are professionals through and through and you can hear that immediately. Very much looking forward to a next time and through this way many thanks!

Er is een enorme inspanning geleverd, van het beantwoorden van onze vragen voordat we boekten tot de voorbereiding en het optreden. De kwaliteit van het spel was geweldig (we hadden zelfs enkele muzikanten in het publiek die dat dachten). Het duo wisselde tussen Ierse en Joodse muziek, wat onze bruiloft van twee culturen heel bijzonder maakte. Nadat ze een paar introductieliedjes hadden gespeeld terwijl de mensen hun maaltijd afmaakten, bracht het duo de gasten overeind. We waardeerden enorm hoe flexibel het duo was met de timing van verschillende nummers, omdat ons diner wat vertraging opliep. De sfeer was echt goed voor alle generaties, de communicatie en het begrip waren perfect. De gasten kunnen er nog steeds niet over ophouden. Je krijgt echt waar voor je geld met deze act. There was a huge effort made from answering our questions before booking to the preparation, to the performance. Quality of playing was amazing (we even had some musicians in the crowd who thought so). The duo switched between Irish and Jewish music, which made our wedding of two cultures very special. After they played a few introduction songs while people we finishing up their meals, the duo brought the guests to their feet. We really appreciated how flexible the duo were with the timings of different songs, because our dinner got a bit delayed. The atmosphere was really good for all generations, the communication and understand was perfect. The guests still can't stop talking about it. You really get your value for money with this act.
, Riënne
The musicians allowed us to enjoy international styles of music that completely suited the event. Quality high. Definitely worth repeating and recommending!

The start was tricky due to noise otherwise okay.

We zijn zeer tevreden over Robin als pianist op ons huwelijk. Het contact was snel gelegd en Robin dacht vanaf het begin actief mee over de mogelijke playlist. Waarbij hij ook bereid was iets toe te voegen aan zijn repertoire. De muzikale begeleiding op onze trouwdag zelf was echt heel mooi en heeft indruk gemaakt op ons en de gasten. Daarnaast sprong hij bij als geluidstechnicus toen het geluid van de locatie het liet afweten. Mede door zijn muzikaliteit en betrokkenheid is het een fantastische dag geworden. Echt een aanrader! Robin, nogmaals bedankt!
, Suus
From the first note to the last, Robin and Radboud took us, moved us, made us happy and took us on a classical and tango journey. For a 50th wedding anniversary in a small company they played, and every note was beautiful. Also the story, the telling of the music and the cooperation and trust between the musicians was wonderful and inspiring to see. Thank you so much!
, Sonja
What a super fun and good duo to brighten up any party. The gentlemen are very attentive, discuss the set list, arrive very on time and play fantastic. The atmosphere was good right away. They play everything from pretty quiet to pretty exciting. Absolutely recommended!
, Amelia Said
Wonderful beautiful piano playing. It was really fantastic...partly because of your talent...it was unforgettable!!! In addition, fine communication from A to Z!
, Jesper
Nice and fun performance by Robin, definitely recommended!
, D
We had hired Robin for an hour for our opening dance and to complete the evening beautifully and attractively. We had a few request songs that Robin gives fantastic performance. He also came up with suggestions himself and during our communication beforehand he also let us hear some recordings so we could practice our dance. Very nice! Robin is very talented. Unfortunately we are not getting married again, otherwise we would definitely have hired him again. The guests were also very appreciative of his performance. Thank you Robin for being the icing on the cake. Greetings
, Nathalie
Very good pianist. only received positive feedback.
, Branda & Luuk
Robin understands the art of moving along very nicely. A little in the foreground when it suits, and in the background when it is nice. Robin responds very well to what is happening in the company, and is at home in many areas. He is calm and precise, and plays with love and warmth. Not only the piano, but also his accordion playing we warmly recommend!
, Anouk
The performance for our company event was just what we are looking for. The outdoor setting worked great with the music that was played. We felt at moments like we were in Italy or France
, P. Vriens
Precies goed voor het evenement met gemeenten en burgemeesters. Ik had een fout gemaakt met de starttijd voor Robin, maar hij was super pro-actief en ging direct van start bij aankomst. Helemaal top!
May 2024, Willie Teixeira
What a wonderful trio this is!!! Last year and today they provided the May 4 commemoration. By popular demand, we would like to invite these men in 2025 as well!!!
, Martine
He played fantastically. We had him as background music. For the atmosphere, it was perfect, a casual atmosphere. We spoke briefly, but it was good.
, NVDA
Robin's performance was absolutely perfect, precisely timed with beautiful songs, just as we requested.
, Bert
Robin is an incredibly kind and enthusiastic musician. At home in many genres of music. He made a fantastic contribution to the fun at my birthday party.
, Theo
The performance was excellent, the contact beforehand was pleasant and the choice of music suited the atmosphere perfectly. The audience also responded very positively, making it a successful afternoon!
, Mara
What an incredibly fun experience! The initiative to respond to the needs of the residents was handled very well, making everyone feel involved. The highlight was that the residents were even dancing! That was really great to see, in short a successful afternoon where the joy of the residents really took center stage.
, britt
very easy to work with and the music was great!
, Ellen
It was really super everyone enjoyed the music. Even the neighbor (about 30 m away) who was busy at home almost wanted to come because it sounded so good. Really an enrichment of the party!
, Kyara
Always a super nice collaboration with Robin!
, Bruidspaar Buizert
Robin played during the ceremony of our wedding! Beforehand we had pleasant contact about the songs, after which we requested some new songs that were not yet on his list of wedding songs. This he ended up playing super beautifully. We enjoyed it. At the last song, my husband and I stopped around the corner after walking away, so we could listen to the song a little longer! Thank you Robin!!! We can't wait to listen back to it when the videos come in!
, Lennart
We had a party on our roof terrace at work and it became very cozy partly because Robin walked around and played songs. Also managed to request two songs (in advance) which we all sang at the end as a farewell to a colleague. Thanks Robin!
, Kyara
Super nice to work with! Professional, full of energy and also makes beautiful music.
, Ruud
Robin was on time and felt exactly what he could do musically to make our party even more fun. A fine combination of relaxed jazz-like songs with here and there an English, French or Italian song to sing along. Our guests were very positively surprised!
, Peter
Robin and his friend are virtuoso musicians, of all trades. We immediately felt at home with them as they did with us. That interaction increased the atmosphere between guest, artist and the guests themselves. These guys are very special and we very happy with this choice. They accompanied an unplanned performance of a singer. They can just professionally improvise that too. Great!
, Justine
Robin knew exactly what we wanted in terms of music at our event. He adapted very easily to his audience and even got everyone dancing! A very talented musician, and a great person to work with. Thank you so much Robin! We are fans ;-)
, Ife Abdul
Robin is very professional, friendly, clear to communicate with and was very helpful with the whole process. He knew what I wanted and delivered excellently. I highly recommend him and will surely invite him again.
May 2023, Willie
I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Is it possible in this composition to bring real classical music suitable for the 4th of May commemoration at our office. Nothing is less true: Those present were moved to tears so: see you next year gentlemen!!!
, Kjell
We had the opportunity to watch an extraordinary performance by this ensemble. Beforehand, I clearly discussed with Robin what the occasion was, and although a memorial service and tango do not immediately match, he put together a repertoire that matched the service perfectly and also built up nicely. We were given our own choice of several pieces that he had selected for us. The playing on the day itself was emotional, in the moment and above all beautiful to hear. I am grateful for the performance, and it was nice that she made time after the performance so that all the other guests also had a chance to express their gratitude and praise.
, Astrid
Robin studied sea shanties especially for us. This alone we found very special. The communication with Robin was very pleasant and clear. We enjoyed the performance itself enormously. Robin gave us good feedback about our singing together, which made it a real success. Accompanied by the accordion, we sang along with a large group with the sea shanties and afterwards Robin played some appropriate pieces himself. Really a success and thus highly recommended Very nice man too

Great atmospheric performance by an exceptionally talented and kind young man
September 2022, Henk en Romy
Great performance,. at home, during our 40th wedding anniversary From beginning to end he made it a party, everyone sang along. Robin takes well into account the wishes of the customer It is highly recommended.
, Bilge
We had booked Robin as our pianist at our wedding at the Orangerie. Together with his violinist Gustav he made our wedding extra special! Robin has thought along with the type of music and during the wedding perfectly responded to the moments (during the ceremony for example, also the wedding officiant was very impressed). Communication went extremely smoothly. Robin works very professionally and is also incredibly friendly. I can recommend him (and Gustav) to everyone! Thank you Robin! Love, Bilge & Evren

We hired them to play time s the ceremony of our wedding. This they did wonderfully. Beautiful classical music and pop songs in a classical way. Communication beforehand was nice and easy via WhatsApp. Finally, the band responded well to the changes that took place during the ceremony So highly recommended to everyone.
, Duursporter
Robin is an enthusiastic and excellent accordionist who sensed the atmosphere of our party very well. He performed both individually and also with a professional singer during our party. We have received very positive feedback on his performances
, Mirjam
Robin brought exactly the cheerful and pleasant atmosphere I wanted at my party. He is communicative so we could coordinate well with each other. He is a very good musician.
, Ramon
Way to go!
, Jolanda
He did great. The right choice in the end. Nice guy and played well with the audience.
, Deborah
Robin has really enriched our party with his presence! It was great! Robin has a lot of talent! When we made a request for playing Il Giorni on the spot, Robin had already estimated that this request might come and he started playing the song right away on the piano. It was absolutely beyond expectation, so beautiful. Everyone was enthusiastic.
, User
Robin performed at our house on the occasion of my mother's 80th birthday. First he put the mood in it with his playing on the accordion. After that he played some wonderful songs on the piano, completely in the style/genre my mother loves. To top it all off, he spontaneously accompanied my mother on the accordion and she was able to shine again with her piano playing. After that was the fence of the dam and wanted other musical family members also like to play with Robin :-). Everything à l'improviste, which indicates what a great musician Robin is. In short, a fantastic performance. On top of that Robin in the preparation quickly understood where the musical preference was and on the day itself felt what the atmosphere was. Thanks again and see you next time!
, User
The performance was as hoped and expected during our farewell party
, User
Robin played together with a violinist (Gustavo Cabrera) at our wedding on 20-12-2019, this they did very nice and professional. Also in the preparation and the contact very pleasant Robin managed to set the atmosphere very well and it was very successful! Recommended!
, Dirk
The performance of trio Fraguro was fantastic in one word. The fun and enthusiasm exploded. This opinion was absolutely shared by all the guests. As far as we're concerned, class!
, User
Robin is enthusiastic, keeps his appointments neatly, is punctual and above all a very good artist who feels exactly what his audience wants. We had booked Robin in honour of my parents' 50th anniversary. A party like this is quite an arrangement. It's fantastic that after a short conversation you can give the music completely out of your hands to someone who understands his profession: thank you very much Robin again!
, User
Robin contributed to the music during our wedding ceremony and it was fantastic. The communication went very smooth and professional, but still personal. He actively thought along with our wishes. The music was beautifully played/sung and suited us perfectly. Nothing was too much to ask. We are very happy with the cooperation and performance!
, User
Robin is a great man and musician! As soon as he starts playing, so many beautiful emotions are released. So much feeling and love for music is fantastic and then in combination with his drive, talent to improvise, to listen to our wishes and his own endless pleasure to make music is contagious. When we discussed which songs we might want to play at our wedding we saw Robin while listening to songs via Spotify, counting, listening deeper, smiling and after a while saying 'yes this is going to be all right' and assured us that he would get the best bits out of it before the ceremony and adjust the duration of the song to the ceremony. Practically we discussed things like the place of making music, extension cables, amplifier, what to do in nice and bad weather. On our wedding day 6 Sept 2019 Robin was great! From djamming, accompanying our ceremony with beautiful songs (including vocals, piano, guitar and violin) to making music together with other family musicians. What a FEEST! Robin seems to be able to do everything, has a lot of knowledge and is 100% capable of shining your party, wedding, event. A thousand thanks Robin (and of course also Esther, Chris and Irene), how much we enjoyed you. The rest of our lives our songs Take my Hand - Emily Hackett, Tenerife Sea - Ed Sheeron and I'm Yours - Jason Mraz will stay with us for the rest of our lives

Robin performed during an intimate dinner in a special setting. We had discussed our wishes and the possibilities beforehand. Robin gave a fantastic response and made sure that our (surprise) dinner had exactly the right atmosphere. It was really fantastic!
, Stefan
This act was really good and it went very smoothly. He can play very well. Everyone had a good time. During the break he had a nice time with the guests, a super nice boy
, User
Robin has a beautiful technique and plays the piano with a lot of feeling. He played (together with me (vocals)) a number of new songs that gave an amazing contribution to the intimate wedding ceremony of dear friends of mine. His dedication to make the wedding day the most beautiful day of their lives was successful. Thank you Robin, you complete the picture for people and I hope to perform with you more often :-)
, User
It was awesome. Celebration of wedding anniversary and birthdays in restaurant in park in Utrecht. The evening before the party we discussed with Radboud (violinist) that, because of the expected beautiful weather for a large part, the party would take place outside. Then Robin (pianist) took his accordion with him so that he could also perform outside. Later it moved inside, where the trio with piano continued. The music has contributed a lot to the cosy and informal atmosphere we love. We and all our guests enjoyed it!
, Joost den Elzen
What a fantastic evening! Very musical, feel the atmosphere and very relaxed musicians
, User
Two nice, spontaneous men who can play well! They gave a super performance that suited our organization (setting and kind of audience). The communication also went great; they responded quickly to mails and listened seriously to your wishes. The performance of Los Tangueros really turned our drink into a party! Good luck guys!
, User
Los Tangueeros Clásicos, a very talented and characteristic ensemble, has more than lived up to our expectations. From our church wedding we arrived at our wedding location. There we were, so romantic, welcomed by these three men with a love song. They look like they can get through a ring (tuxedo), are accessible, improvise, created exactly the atmosphere we wanted (a sultry, French/Italian, cheerful, warm summer evening) and play well audible in the background. Prior to our wedding Robin was very professional and pleasant in contact, he listened carefully to our wishes and choice of music and actively thought along in the possibilities. In short, a real recommendation.
, User
Robin took care of the music during the ceremony at our wedding. It was beautiful! In the run-up to the day the contact was nice and easy. Robin likes to think along and comes up with proposals. For our ceremony he converted a song, which in principle wasn't a piano solo, into a beautiful song, in which he also worked together with a friend of mine who took care of the singing. Robin is professional, dedicated and above all a sublime pianist. I would recommend him to anyone!
, Ton en Annette
Robin came in and immediately set a very nice atmosphere. All the guests were enthusiastic. Highly recommended. We will definitely ask him back.
, User
"Being able to play music like that doesn't teach you... you have to have it in you!" according to one of our guests. Robin has been supportive and of added value from the first heartfelt contact to make our party a success. Listening to where you'd like to put the accent, he comes up with very good ideas that won't miss their effect on the evening itself. By doing so, he has given our party a total added value Robin is a top professional who doesn't hesitate and can carry the evening effortlessly with his fantastic music and the wide range of musical styles he masters well. Take the chemistry of this very captivating artist with a passion for music that skipped over our guests. The unique combination of accordion (what a direct hit) and his jazzy piano playing with vocals (at our request) made the party complete For us no artist who would play somewhere in a corner but we had Robin in our midst and he is so easy to handle that he immediately belonged. Our guests were very pleasantly surprised by this nice setting and especially the wonderful music. It was going to be a night to remember We were showered with thanks in which the fantastic music was praised separately without exception That honour is entirely yours Robin! Thank you very much again, we are so glad that you wanted to come all the way south for our party.
, User
Robin is both great at his playing as a person. His passion and the talent of Robin radiates 100% from it. He is very enthusiastic, tells the background to every classical song and plays with feeling. He also studies requests and plays it flawlessly throughout the evening! My grandmother got the most beautiful present ever for her 90th birthday thanks to a performance of Robin!
, User
Robin is an artist who both plays the piano phenomenally and sings beautifully! We had very specific wishes for the celebration of our wedding, were so happy that we finally found someone who could perform all this.
, User
What super nice guests! They felt exactly what was needed for the festive farewell of our rector. Their repertoire is really as big as they describe it. In contact they are extremely correct and think along with what is needed.

We had a wonderful 25-year wedding with Robin and Frank. How well those guys can tune in to the wishes of us and the guests. And a wonderful quality of music. We'd certainly ask them again. On to the 30-year wedding.

Everyone, both dancers and non-dancers, enjoyed the beautiful music!

Lovely! We had a great time. Fine contact, reliable in what has been agreed, tear pulling tears with the right timing at the ceremony and at the drink fantastic mood-enhancing accordion music. I enjoy looking back at the images. Thanks Robin!

"Highly recommended. Robin listened perfectly to our wishes and applied them in his music. Both the contact before and after his performance was very professional"
, User
Last Saturday we enjoyed a performance of Robin. He played accordion at my party and from the first notes the atmosphere was already good. In advance we had discussed what type of music I would like to hear like in my case French, Italian songs and some Argentine tango. But also a Dutch sing-along would be welcome. And indeed, Robin felt the atmosphere was good and was open to suggestions from the guests We danced and sang along wonderfully, there was something for everyone In addition, he showed very professional behaviour by being present well in time, not giving a shrink when the waiting time became a bit longer than foreseen and making an effort to make my party a success. Absolutely recommendable for a party and I find Robin very sympathetic and flexible. A topper!
, User
The performance of Los Tangueros Clásicos was phenomenal, really a party. The audience went crazy on the virtuoso music of this trio. Many different styles, and a particularly moving repertoire, from exhilarating to moving. We couldn't have wished for a better choice, both in class and in party atmosphere. Bravo!
, User
Robin El-Hage is a very professional pianist. The collaboration went super. It was very nice that Robin adapted very easily to the situation. In addition, he gave his own touch to the carols, which, like his great improvisations, was very much appreciated!

R&G Tango Duo provided a Creativity Boost for one of our clients on the Day of Art & Culture. A mini-concert on the work floor and what kind of concert! We received many positive reactions.
, User
During the wedding of Annic & Robert ten Duis, Los Tangueros Clásicos played beautifully during the welcome dinner, the ceremony and the reception. Prior to that the wishes were well discussed; there was a wish for a specific classical song, some more 'jazzy' during the reception etc. The gentlemen responded well and it was a great success. Also nice to mention is how they involved the guests in the music in a very natural way; there was someone who wanted to sing a song spontaneously under the guidance of the trio. None of this was a problem and the gentlemen were continuously enthusiastic, flexible and full of good will. Absolutely recommended, I will definitely book them more often for weddings or other events Greetings, Lucette // House of Luce weddings

We asked these musicians to give a lunch concert at the Central Bureau of Statistics in The Hague, including dancers who dance to their music. The cooperation was very pleasant, the communication went well and on the day itself they gave a great concert with their enthusiasm and pleasure. Definitely a must!
, User
Tangos, waltz and Irish and Italian music. They can do it all. Robin explains the music and his instrument. They were on time and everything went according to plan. The audience visibly enjoyed themselves. They spontaneously framed a toast.

Robin took care of beautiful piano playing during our wedding ceremony and our drink! We had a very pleasant contact beforehand and he listened carefully to our wishes. In a word fantastic!

It was a lot of fun. Robin performed at our 25th wedding anniversary and did this with verve. Nothing to complain about!

What a great evening we had with Robin El-Hage! Robin played for the Creenstone brand during a large dinner in the Posthoornkerk in Amsterdam. During this dinner Robin played beautiful pieces that created exactly the atmosphere we were looking for in the background. We were not looking for a concert, but for live background music during the dinner. Robin played so well, he got a standing ovation from our seated dinner guests afterwards.
