Tosheff Piano Duo was the first piano-duo team officially
admitted in a higher music institution in the United States. Since
2002 they have been studying with the world-renowned pianist John
Perry at the University of Southern California
(USC) in Los Angeles. USC Thornton School of Music was
the only U.S. institution that created a graduate program of study
specially designed for this duo.

Tosheff Duo were one of the first teams admitted in the newly designed
