The audience begins to clap, gradually gathering speed in time with the pianists on stage. Willed on by the percussive accelerando<\/em>, the duo zips through Zorba\u2019s Dance<\/em>, a piece by Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis that evokes ouzo-soaked taverns and hot summer nights. The dark-haired pianists, virtually identical in sunglasses and denim shorts, finish their own arrangement of Greece\u2019s popular musical export with a flourish. <\/p>

As the sun makes a lengthy retreat behind the tree-lined stage, musicians invite young audience members to try out some instruments. A child delights at blowing a clarinet mouthpiece, another tentatively presses piano keys. These guests have come from one of the refugee camps that remain on Lesbos, the Turkey-adjacent island that unwittingly became the centre of the 2015 migrant crisis. \u00a0<\/p>

The sisters who co-created a musical festival in sun-soaked Greece<\/h2>
A short while later, the stage lights \u2013 and mosquito repellent \u2013 are out in full force. The pianists, Greek-German sisters Danae and Kiveli D\u00f6rken, are back. Alternating between Greek and English, the D\u00f6rkens welcome visitors to the Molyvos International Music Festival (MIMF), the event they established \u2013 along with their Lesbos-born mother Lito Dakou \u2013 in 2014. <\/p>
<\/div><\/figure>The Berlin-based duo are prodigal daughters of Molyvos, the picturesque village that they fill with chamber music every August. Having played piano duets since Kiveli joined big sister Danae at the keyboard (the Theodorakis piece features on their latest album, Apollo & Dionysus<\/em>, alongside works by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/composers\/felix-mendelssohn\">Mendelssohn<\/a><\/strong>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/composers\/johannes-brahms\">Brahms<\/a><\/strong> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/composers\/philip-glass\">Philip Glass<\/strong><\/a> among others), co-creating a festival seemed like a natural step. <\/p>\u2018Working together feels like our superpower,\u2019 says Kiveli. \u2018We can accomplish so much more.\u2019 Facing hurdles that have included the European financial crisis, huge numbers of displaced people, a pandemic and sprawling forest fires, two artistic heads proved better than one. <\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-kardashians-the-krays-and-of-course-the-wonsals\">The Kardashians, the Krays… and, of course, the Wonsals<\/h2>The sisters have reflected contemporary challenges in their programming, from 2016\u2019s \u2018Crossroads\u2019 theme to 2023\u2019s \u2018Symbiosis\u2019, and are preparing to curate a special tenth edition for 2024. \u2018It\u2019s been challenging, but together we can keep going,\u2019 says Danae. \u2018No-one knows us better than we do each other,\u2019 adds Kiveli.\u00a0<\/p>While working with a sibling might be an anathema to many (those <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nber.org\/reporter\/2017number4\/new-evidence-impacts-birth-order\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">birth-order tropes<\/a><\/strong> can be hard to avoid), there are plenty who have made a success out of it. Polish \u00e9migr\u00e9s the Wonsals went on to establish a leading film studio, under the anglicised version of their name, Warner Bros, and the Kardashians have earned millions from a reality TV series that follows the relationships between the eponymous sisters. <\/p>Even in underground activities, it can pay to keep it in the family: the Kray twins are among the UK\u2019s most notorious historic criminals. So, it is unsurprising that when it comes to music, the pattern is repeated. It\u2019s common in rock and pop \u2013 from AC\/DC to the White Stripes \u2013 and, perhaps unsurprisingly, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/musical-terms\/what-is-chamber-music\">chamber music<\/a><\/strong>, an artform reliant on intimacy. <\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-i-found-the-musical-siblings-i-missed-as-a-child\">\u2018I found the musical siblings I missed as a child\u2019<\/h2>In Two Violins, One Viola, A Cello and Me<\/em>, Sonia Simmenauer\u2019s recent memoir about managing string quartets, violist Krzysztof Chorzelski describes his time with the Belcea Quartet as a \u2018great stroke of luck\u2019.

Perhaps left to her own devices, she might have found her way to another, more suitable pastime.\u00a0<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-i-wanted-to-learn-the-piano-so-that-i-could-share-that-space-with-her\">\u2018I wanted to learn the piano so that I could share that space with her’ <\/h2>\u2018I felt a desire to emulate Danae for many years,\u2019 says Kiveli. \u2018I wanted to learn the piano so that I could share that space with her. She never discouraged me.\u2019 Happily, like Danae, Kiveli demonstrated prodigious talent, although she says she always found practising to be a struggle. <\/p>\u2018Danae was more disciplined. The times when I enjoyed practising were when we played together.\u2019 Sometimes it was music for four hands, but often the sisters would just sit together at the stool. \u2018Having Danae next to me makes it easier to work,\u2019 says Kiveli. <\/p>The D\u00f6rkens follow in the footsteps of Katia and Marielle Lab\u00e8que, the French piano duo with a vast repertoire and discography, which includes 2014 album Sisters<\/em>. Like the Lab\u00e8ques, the D\u00f6rkens live together with their partners and extended family.\u00a0<\/p><ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/reviews\/instrumental\/philip-glass-les-enfants-terribles\">Review: the Lab\u00e8que sisters play Philip Glass<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mozart-and-nannerl-musical-siblings-out-on-tour\">Mozart and Nannerl: musical siblings out on tour<\/h2><a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/features\/composers\/mozart\">Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart<\/a><\/strong> admired his older sister Maria Anna, known as \u2018Nannerl\u2019, who seems to have been the impetus behind his early musical forays. The two children performed together as part of tours organised by their father (one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.classical-music.com\/articles\/musical-prodigies\">classical music’s pushiest parents<\/a><\/strong>). Wolfgang also wrote several pieces for Nannerl to play, including the Prelude and Fugue in C, K394 and the four Preludes K284a. <\/p>The siblings drew apart in later years, perhaps due to Nannerl\u2019s enforced retirement from the stage in exchange for marriage, and the separation seems to have been exacerbated by Wolfgang\u2019s marriage to Constanze. But until 1785, Wolfgang sent Nannerl copies of his piano concertos, suggesting the musical bond wasn\u2019t so easily broken.\u00a0<\/p>One sibling relationship has the potential for complication when combined with work pressures. But what happens when multiple brothers and sisters are involved? <\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-do-four-musical-siblings-do-form-a-string-quartet-of-course\">What do four musical siblings do?
