OXY MORE
Since 2020
Plunging their audience in near-darkness during a unified one-shot performance, OXY MORE’s innovative concert format is aimed as much at music lovers as people who are not necessarily familiar with classical music - especially the younger generation - with emotion being at the heart of the matter.
OXY MORE offers a musical journey for two pianos or four hands through programs of works combining different eras and varied styles linked to each other by contrast or continuity. Their repertoire ranges from Bach to contemporary music and improvisation, including works from the classical, romantic, 20th & 21st century periods. They also collaborate in productions that combine music and other art forms, such as dance and visual arts.
