Miny dekkers and Henri Bok have been colleagues at the Rotterdam Conservatory for many years and have played many concerts together in such groups as DC + M² . Over the years they have felt the need to work more and more together as a duo and to concentrate on works for accordion and bass clarinet/alto saxophone. After a concert tour in Canada the fall of 1991, they decided to officially name their duo Duo Novair - a name referring to new music (nova) performed on two instruments on which sound is produced through air. The unique and unconventional combination of instruments is not only colorful and interesting, but also appeals to contemporary composers. They are able to explore the contrasts between the two instruments as well as the perfect bleed of specifically, the lower registers of the bass clarinet and the bass off the accordion. |
