Duo Diagonal is a innovative duo with a very special instrumental cast: harpsichord and classical accordion.
Two instruments that historically and acoustically are almost at “cross currents” and yet heard together surprise the listener with a great tonal depth, intensity and wealth of nuances.
The instrumentation gives possibilities of a uniquely varied and colourful repertoire; both musicians are equally at home in music from baroque to contemporary music – and in music from around most of the world. The two instruments will at a concert be experienced each in their customary element – and in wholly untraditional ways.
Duo Diagonal performs with same commitment music from the great period of the baroque harpsichord and music from the 20th and 21st century. The musical work includes lessons with professors of early music Lars-Ulrik Mortensen and Sirkka-Liisa Kakkinen-Pilch – as well as work with composers who, inspired by the unique acoustic dimensions, work on music dedicated to Duo Diagonal.
