Biographie
OXY MORE is a piano duo formed in 2020 by Swiss-based pianists Dinu Mihailescu and Philippe Boaron. Performing on two pianos or four hands, the duo curates programmes that blend repertoire from different periods—classical, romantic, 20th-century and contemporary music—and collaborates with artists from other disciplines, including dance and visual arts. Their concert format often features uninterrupted performance in near-darkness, designed to enhance emotional impact and accessibility.
