Music at the Institute - The MZ Duo

The MZ Duo is a London–based ensemble formed by Canadian saxophonist David Zucchi and Spanish accordionist Iñigo Mikeleiz-Berrade. Their repertoire spans everything from reimagined traditional works to modern pieces and improvisation, all vividly rendered by the unique combination of saxophone and accordion. 

Since their debut concert at the Vale de Cambra Classical Music Festival (Portugal) in 2019, the duo has performed across the UK and Europe, including appearances at Wigmore Hall, Edinburgh Fringe, St Martin-in-the-Fields, Barnes Music Festival, Newbury Spring Festival, Music@Malling, Rye Arts Festival, Buxton International Festival, the Rosengart Museum (Lucerne), St. George’s Bristol, and the Daylight Music series (Union Chapel, London). They have appeared on BBC Radio 3's In Tune with Sean Rafferty, and have been residents at Music at Brel and Ferrandou Musique. The duo is dedicated to the generation of new repertoire for their instrumentation, and have collaborated with composers including Robin Haigh, Aileen Sweeney, Roxanna Albayati, Brian Elias, Benjamin Oliver, Michael Hughes, and Alex Paxton. New commissions and projects for the duo have been supported by the Marchus Trust, City Music Foundation, the RPS Susan Bradshaw Composers' Fund, the Nicholas Boas Charitable Trust, and the Vaughan Williams Foundation.

​You can see videos on YouTube of the duo performing works by composers ranging from Bach through to Piazzolla here.

Their debut album, ContraDANCE, was released by Delphian Records early this year.  You can see the details of that here.

The performance will last about two hours including an interval of 20 minutes.  

We do not have an alcohol licence but if you are of age you are welcome to bring your own. There are supermarkets nearby. Please bring plastic glasses or use the glasses and paper cups that we supply.
