Formed in 2000, O Duo's first commercial CD is due for release shortly. Owen Gunnell and Oliver Cox were both scholars at the Royal College of Music, graduating with First Class Honours. In 2004 they were awarded a Junior Fellowship at the RCM.
O Duo has performed concertos with the BBC Philharmonic, London Philharmonic and Philharmonia Orchestras, worked at Abbey Road and Sony studios on television and film scores and broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and BBC TV.
In 2003 and 2004 the Duo won Best Music Act of the Fringe at the Edinburgh Festival and in 2006 was shortlisted for a Royal Philharmonic Society Young artist award.
Over the last year the Duo has given critically acclaimed recitals at Wigmore Hall and Purcell Room, recorded for Channel 4 TV and BBC Radio 2 and given concerts in Paris and Madrid. This season they return to Wigmore Hall and give debut concerts in Switzerland and the USA.
In How Music Works, O Duo performs percussion rhythms of Hope by Twista and Faith Evans.
