 O DUO
OWEN GUNNELL ~ percussion
OLIVER COX ~ percussion
(marimbas, vibraphones, drums and instruments from around the world)
Owen Gunnell and Oliver Cox were both scholars at the Royal Academy of Music, graduating in 2003 with First Class Honours. Since 2000, the Duo has given recitals in music clubs and venues throughout the UK and abroad, and have performed concertos with the BBC Philharmonic, London Philharmonic and Philharmonia Orchestras. In 2006, the Duo was shortlisted for the Royal Philharmonic Society’s ‘outstanding young artist award’.
Their repertoire spans more than 300 years and is a mix of popular classics and accessible contemporary music played on two marimbas, vibraphone and a great array of percussion. Performing from memory Owen and Oliver’s performances are hugely popular with both young and old, as they communicate with immediacy and brilliance.
