The Duo Dubois was born in 2011 from the shared passion for the contemporary music by the two members: Alberto Cavallaro (Saxophone) and Federico Tramontana (Percussion).
The aim of the Duo is to develop the repertoire for this formation, with particular attention to the interactions between the instruments, often imagining a hybrid result that characterizes their idea of “sound”. During their performance the duo mostly play music written for them. The Duo has appeared in Festival such as: Darmstadt Ferienkurse (Darmstadt), DME (Lisbona), Lund Biennale (Lund), SMOG (Bruxelles), De Bijloke (Ghent), Sound Spaces (Malmoe), Istituti Italiani di Cultura of Bruxelles and Melbourne, MACRO – Museo d’Arte Contemporanea of Roma, Spaziomusica (Cagliari), Festival Internazionale di Musica di Savona (Savona), Dialoghi sul Comporre (Reggio Emilia) ecc. The Duo has held lectures and workshops for the Conservatories of Venice, Fermo and Adria.
