ZOFO duet

"...jaw dropping awesome!"

Since joining forces as a professional duo less than three years ago, internationally acclaimed solo pianists Eva-Maria Zimmermann and Keisuke Nakagoshi - ZOFO duet - have thrilled audiences from Carnegie Hall to Osaka Japan with their dazzling artistry and outside-the-box thematic programming for piano-four-hands.

One of a rare handful of professional ensembles worldwide focusing exclusively on piano duets, ZOFO is rediscovering and energetically performing hidden gems of the traditional one-piano-four-hands repertoire, along with a strong dedication to 20th and emerging 21st century works. As innovators in the genre, ZOFO also performs heart pumping one-piano-four-hands arrangements of famous orchestral pieces, such as Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, exploring the realms in which many composers first experienced their symphonic visions.

Since their first performance together in the fall of 2009, ZOFO has made some remarkable achievements:

- First Place: 2010 Bradshaw & Buono International Piano Comp.

- Carnegie Hall concert debut: May, 2010

-  Finalists: 2011 Osaka International Chamber Music Comp. 

- Recording contract w/Grammy Award winning Sono Luminus
