Season Highlights
The 2019/2020 season is a fifth consecutive year of our artistic growth and friendship. It marks a beginning of our collaboration with Baris Toker from BT Arts – a music agency based in Berlin. After four intense years during which we had a wonderful opportunity to play in over 30 countries, at some of the most prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall, Wiener Musikverein and Tonhalle Zürich, it is now time to continue to expand and to bring our music to new audiences. This year we will have an enormous pleasure to play concerts at some of the biggest festivals and venues in Europe, some of which are: Schleswig Holstein Musik Festival, Grafenegg Festival, Brandenburgische Sommerkonzerte, Kissinger Sommer, MITO SettembreMusica, Berlin Konzerthaus, Wiener Musikverein, Residenz München, Casino Baumgarten Wien, CAFE Contemporary Arts Festival Budapest.
Our strong relationship with Jeunesse is continuing also this season with eight concerts in Austria, and the tour highlight – our version of “Goldberg Variations”, which we premiered in Budapest, in October 2019.
Last but not least – new album! We are very happy to win Austrian Musikfonds prize to record our second album titled “East West”. The recording took place in Wiener Musikverein. “East West” is planned to be released in 2020.
Truly yours,
Michal and Bogdan

UPDATE
May, 2020
Just as every ensemble on the planet, also we are heavily affected by the coronavirus crisis. The second part of the 2019-20 season can be crossed out. But we don’t give up that easily! We experimented some advanced technologies to be able to rehearse, record and stream our real-time playing, while being separated. Find more about our lock-down activities here:
