O Duo’s repertoire spans more than 300 years and is a mix of popular classics and accessible contemporary music played on two marimbas, vibraphone and a huge array of percussion.  Owen and Oliver’s performances are hugely popular with both young and old, as they communicate with immediacy and brilliance.  Their programme will include works by Bach, Chopin and Dave Brubeck, alongside Minoru Miki’s dazzlingly virtuosic Marimba Spiritual.

Over the last year O Duo has given critically acclaimed recitals at the Wigmore Hall and Purcell Room, recorded for Channel 4 TV and BBC Radio 2 and given concerts in Paris, Madrid, Lucerne, Bulgaria, the Channel Islands and the Harare Festival in Zimbabwe.
