Since their first performance as a duo in 2015, they soon realized that it was impossible not to play together.
With time Duo AntiKa has developed into a versatile, energetic, and engaging partnership on stage and beyond. Their diverse and touching programs include compositions yet undiscovered by a broader audience and renowned pieces by Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, and Piazzolla.
AntiKa approaches interpretation by diving open-mindedly into the impressions evoked by music, vigorously searching for the freshness of expression. The duo strives to create an atmosphere that transcends “the usual,” going beyond purely technical aspects of playing.
