Duo Aki

Duo Aki (Lola Schuele and Eden Annesley) is a violin, saxophone, shakuhachi (Japanese flute) and looper duo working in the nexus of Australian and Japanese classical, contemporary and  folk traditions, having represented Australia at the 2025 Osaka World Expo. 

Described as “beautiful, interesting and evocative,” (Gina Williams AM and Guy Ghouse), their unique genre invites audiences to explore narratives of identity and environment drawn from their time in Japan. Duo Aki works in cross-disciplinary mediums, passionate about extending their music into curatorship with recent collaboration with visual artist Monica Vejgaard for their project before/now/after.
