Lunchtime Concert Series
Passepartout Duo: fours hands, one instrument
Students, staff and the general public are welcome to attend this FREE event. (Registration not required).
About the Performance
Innovative duo Nicoletta Favari (piano) and percussionist Christopher Salvito (percussion) weave a mesmerising journey through complex rhythms and choreography on self-built instruments.
Looking for a careful balance between acoustic and electronic instruments, juggling complex rhythms and negotiated choreographies on a shared instrumentation of self-built instruments, the two musicians of Passepartout share a live performance that has been evolving and morphing over the past four years. The different encounters during their travels as much as a constant experimentation with circuit design and electromagnetism all conjure an unpredictable sonic journey.
About the Artists
Passepartout Duo is an internationally acclaimed contemporary music duo composed of pianist Nicoletta Favari and percussionist Christopher Salvito. The group has been on a nearly continuous world tour ever since they began collaborating in 2015, and their experiences traveling have heavily influenced their unconventional creative process. Passepartout Duo has performed at music festivals for contemporary classical music like Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, Norfolk Chamber Music Festival, Dark Music Days Festival, and Havana Festival of Contemporary Music.
Passepartout Duo’s work investigates the way in which we listen to and connect with sound. Reassessing the tools they use to create their music, the group is continually developing a specialized and evolving ecosystem of handmade musical instruments that have ranged from analog electronic circuits and conventional percussion, to room- size textile installations and found objects.
