The Percussionist Duo Juris Āzers and Guntars Freibergs have been playing together since the 2016 Sansusī Festival, mostly focusing on music created by Japanese composers. Last autumn the duo surprised and delighted the audience with the brilliant play at the New Music Festival «Arēna» with a concert program called Texture of Groove, for which both artists were nominated for the 2018 Great Music Award in the category «For Outstanding Work in the Ensemble».
Pulsating emotions and striking rhythm games, thrilling excitement and hypnotic transcendence, an unstoppable driving force that invigorates the body and stimulates the mind, and high technical skill in a complex contemporary repertoire combined with a fabulous sense of ensemble when two become one.
In 2019, the duo was also one of the highlights of the JVLMA New Music Festival “Decibels” program, where a concert “Tīrsens un Poliritmijas” was performed.
