20/03/26 - FUAIM Concert: Duo b!z'art
FUAIM returns to the Aula Maxima this week with duo b!z’art: ‘Across the stars, piano duets’
When music invites you to discover the magic of the cosmos, the Milky Way, the planets that have watched over us for millions of years, and finally, a musical fireworks display on the borders of classical and jazz.
Friday 20th March 2026
Aula Maxima, UCC
1:10pm
b!z'art or bizarre?
Endowed with a strong artistic personality, motivated by a constant search for cohesion and precision, this duo of pianists on 1 and 2 pianos (or rather a single person with 20 fingers?) is out of the ordinary and déjà vu...
Passionate and committed musicians, Geoffrey Baptiste and André Roe like to share their love of music wherever they can take it, with great simplicity and complicity with the public. Every year, they make numerous tours across Europe (Scandinavia, the British Isles, the Baltic Republics, Slovenia, Croatia,...) as well as in China.
Influenced by their musical tastes ranging from romanticism to 20th century music, their concerts revolve around strong and original themes (An American in Paris, Aboard the Orient Express, Tales and Legends...) combining undisputed masterpieces with unjustly forgotten works.
Alongside these recitals, they also offer musical performances where the concert is lived as a "complete" experience, combining music, theatre and visual projection, during which they ensure that the spectator lives a passionate artistic story.
In addition, they attach great importance to sharing their passion with the young and regularly propose educational concerts for children, whether in partnership with cultural institutions (cultural centres, theatres, festivals, etc.) or directly in schools.
The duo b!z'art was founded in 2004 by André and Geoffrey after their studies, having met in the class of Professor Evgeny Moguilevsky at the Royal Conservatoire of Brussels.
