The MZ Duo, made up of Canadian saxophonist David Zucchi and Spanish accordionist Iñigo Mikeleiz- Berrade, presents a programme of creative reimaginings of the classical repertoire, reaching as far back as JS Bach’s whirlwind Flute Sonata in E Minor and Edvard Grieg’s landmark Holberg Suite, to a Dixieland interpretation of Eric Satie’s iconic Gnossienne no. 1, and finishing with a much- loved exploration of Astor Piazzolla’s Nuevo Tango.

Praised for his “urgently visceral” playing (Tempo), London-based Canadian saxophonist David Zucchi performs a programme of innovative works for saxophone and live electronics. James Tenney’s groundbreaking ’Saxony’ (1978) sees a shimmering wall of sound built from tape delay and saxophones of every size, while Benjamin Tassie’s new work, ’O Suns - O Grass of Graves’, explores the fragile sound world of the saxophone’s delicately unstable multiphonics.
