Duo
Two performing together
A duo is a pair, especially two people who perform or work together: a comedy duo, a musical duo.
The word emphasizes partnership or collaboration rather than mere twoness—you wouldn't call two strangers a duo.
In music, a duo can also mean a piece composed for two performers.
