They met at a master class in Pula while still in their teens. Šulić—the younger of the two by a year— attended the Academy of Music in Zagreb, and then studied in Vienna. Šulić later entered London's Royal Academy of Music. Hauser attended the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester, after completing his studies at Trinity Laban in London.     

The pair do a sensational rendition of the Fifth Symphony in C minor by Beethoven on only TWO cellos, no other instruments at all! However, they fuse the Fifth with the Led Zeppelin song, Whole Lotta Love. The effect is stunning!!!!!     

On the opposite end of the spectrum, they do a terrific cover of the incredibly beautiful song, Hallelujah, by Leonard Cohen.
