Momento are a Guildhall School of Music & Drama trained violin and electronic duo formed by lifelong friends Jonathan Chan and Jan Bislin. Blending classical virtuosity with contemporary electronic production, the pair have developed a distinctive sound that bridges orchestral tradition with modern crossover music. With their emotive instrumental performances and polished stage presence, Momento have become a sought-after act for high-end weddings, private clients, luxury corporate events, and cultural venues.
Jonathan and Jan both completed master’s degrees in performance at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama and grew up immersed in classical music. Their shared background enabled them to develop a unique performance style that blends classical technique with cinematic soundscapes and modern electronic elements. Over the years, they have performed across Europe, North America, China and Saudi Arabia, building an international reputation for sophisticated and emotionally engaging live shows.
Momento have appeared at prestigious events hosted by global brands and organisations, including Art on Ice, Cartier, Bloomberg, UEFA, Robb Report and The Old Vic. They have also shared stages with internationally recognised artists including John Legend, John Newman and James Blunt. Their recorded work includes the debut original single 'Sindalah', the cover album 'Detour', which explores the fusion of classical and crossover music, and the project 'Elixir', featuring six tracks including a reimagined classic and several original compositions. Their instrumental interpretation of 'Wildest Dreams' by Taylor Swift has also gained strong online attention, contributing to more than one million views on YouTube.
Momento are hired for luxury events because they create an immersive musical experience that blends elegance with modern energy. Their repertoire spans original compositions such as 'Superpower', an upbeat Afrobeat-inspired track, alongside contemporary reinterpretations of well-known songs. They have also worked with artists including RAYE, Ella Eyre, Gabrielle Aplin and Riton, demonstrating their versatility across classical, pop and electronic music worlds. With their cinematic sound and refined visual presentation, Momento deliver a sophisticated live show that elevates weddings, corporate events and cultural celebrations across the UK and Europe.
