Sound full of nostalgia
Emiko Thiele Uchiyma left Johanna Dömötör right
Duo concert for flute and marimba
With Johanna Dömötör & Emiko Uchiyama
A sound full of nostalgia unfolds in the interplay of the internationally acclaimed duo Johanna Dömötör (flute) and Emiko Thiele-Uchiyama (marimba) from Linz, Austria. The two musicians have developed an independent duo form that is characterised by tonal sophistication, stylistic openness and chamber music precision. The programme spans a wide range from baroque and classical music to impressionistic soundscapes and contemporary and popular styles. Works by Rameau, Machado, Ibert, Chopin, Piazzolla and other composers unfold a colourful, multi-layered sound language in the special sound combination of flute and marimba - between transparency, rhythmic energy and poetic density.
