Flute & Accordion. Moldova & Romania. One musical voice.
Who We Are
MoldoDuo is a bold and expressive musical ensemble founded in 2022 by two internationally acclaimed artists: Radu Rățoi, a virtuoso accordionist from Moldova, and Ștefan Diaconu, a versatile flautist and conductor from Romania. Their collaboration bridges cultural landscapes and musical traditions, offering audiences a rare and captivating blend of flute and accordion.
Our Mission
“We aim to surprise and provoke — not through shock, but through beauty, depth, and authenticity.”
The name MoldoDuo reflects the duo’s shared heritage — one from the Republic of Moldova, the other from Romania — and their commitment to unity through music. Despite coming from different sides of the border, their artistic language is deeply intertwined, rooted in the rich musical traditions of the region. Their performances are musical expeditions that invite listeners to rediscover the unity of sound, story, and spirit.
