WOW DUO

Tricia Dawn Williams - piano // Beibei Wang - percussion

WoW duo, featuring pianist Tricia Dawn Williams and percussionist Beibei Wang, made its international debut at the 2022 edition of the Oxford Festival of the Arts. The music selected for this concert presents an exciting range of musical styles.

“Spiegel im Spiegel” by Arvo Pärt and “C” by Hannah Lash both portray a minimalist aesthetic while “Atalanta” by John Psathas, “Boiling Clouds” by Ruben Zahra and “Duo” by Giannis Papakrasas present an upbeat character with syncopated rhythmic interactions between the two instruments. In contrast, “Avalanche” (mov II) for vibraphone and piano by Emmanuel Sejourne presents tonal melodic themes supported by lush jazz harmony, reminiscent of a cinematic leitmotif.
