Diphonon Duo is a viola and accordion duo formed by the Greek viola player Michael Iskas and Iñigo Mikeleiz Berrade, accordionist from Navarra (Spain). Michael and Iñigo met in 2015 during their Master of Arts studies at the Royal Academy of Music and, after discovering they share common musical interests, they decided to establish this ensemble.
The Greek word Diphonon means "two voices", and it is pronounced Dee-fo-non. The combination of accordion and viola, bow and bellows, is an unusual duo, however the two instruments have more similarities than we think, since both are able to sustain sound for a long time and vary its colour and intensity. For string players, it is very interesting to explore this possibility. The great cello player Mstislav Rostropovich said that "If cellists want to discover the possibilities of the cello, they should play with accordion and not piano". |
