“Soon everyone had heard the tales, and even the gods looked up to her – for her music alone had made possible what all their talents combined could not: create lasting peace, harmony, and unity.”
Viscount Élinn Grescott: The Aftermath of the Wars of Ascension
Duo Dalùna takes its name from Dalùna Enariel, the Goddess of Music in the fantasy universe of The Chronicles of the Phoenix by Remy Burnens. In the lore, the legendary elven bard is said to have travelled all across the Seven Kingdoms, bringing joy and unity through her music. Everywhere she performed she healed the souls and spirits of the people who had suffered in a time of hardship and uncertainty.
Clémence Hirt and Remy Burnens work together since 2018. In spring 2021 the label Prospero Classical releases their first album « A Song in the Wood » which contains english songs from the early 20th century. They recieved the 3rd prize at the first edition of the International Lied competition « Bolko von Hochberg » in Görlitz in 2022. They perform among others at the Rhone Festival für Liedkunst in Brig, the Suvretta House in St. Moritz and the Schubertiade d’Espace 2 in Fribourg.

About us
Young Swiss Tenor Remy Burnens is finding regular success on the opera and concert stages across Switzerland and Germany. Often praised for his exhilarating coloratura, brilliant high notes, his velvety timbre and immaculate diction, he feels equally at ease in the world of opera, oratorio and lied. He studied voice with Peter Brechbühler in Lucerne and Malcolm Walker in Paris. Masterclasses with Raul Giménez and Filippo Morace furthered his musical education.
Pianist Clémence Hirt was born in Fribourg, Switzerland. She specializes in vocal accompaniment and works as a repetiteur and collaboratibe pianist across Switzerland.
Clémence Hirt takes great pleasure in performing Lied and art song. She works with various singers, like tenor Remy Burnens (Duo Dalùna), mezzo soprano Cassandre Stornetta or soprano Sandrine Droin (Duo Quiproquo). She plays with various choirs and musicians, among them the swiss youth choir, conducted by Nicolas Fink. She co-founded the operetta company Fri’Bouffes, which encourages young singers to rediscover the mostly unknown repertoire from the interwar period. Since August 2023, the pianist is working at the Music School in Lausanne as a collaborative pianist.
