Since 1994, Berkeley and Deon have been performing regularly as the Price Duo, a mother/son chamber music ensemble whose mission is to bring high quality music on clarinet and piano to the public through performance, recording, and artist residencies. Their programs include Deon's original compositions, well-known classics, and exciting music from the 20th Century which often features music by women composers. During the 1999-2001 seasons they played forty concerts in seven states in the U. S., and in London, England. In June 2001, the Price Duo performed concerts in China at the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, Beijing Normal University and China People's University and the Beijing Concert Hall. The Price Duo compact disc, Clariphonia: Music of the 20th Century on Clarinet, is available on the Cambria label.
