Viva Akkordeon!

Musicians Marius Staible and Daniel Roth are among the most exciting representatives of the young European accordion scene. Both have been honoured with, among other awards, first prize at the Val Tidone International Chamber Music Competition, the Franz Liszt Prize, and most recently the John Cage Award 2025.

The duo con:trust develops the sound of their instrument with passion, precision, and boundless curiosity. Deutschlandfunk Kultur calls them a "modern music startup" - an apt description of their artistic openness and bold approach. Their repertoire combines works by Vivaldi and J.S. Bach with music by Astor Piazzolla, Sergei Rachmaninoff, John Cage, Steve Reich, and their own compositions. Technical brilliance meets subtle humour, willingness to take risks, and intense musical dialogue.

Nürnberger Nachrichten praise their "astonishing synchronicity" and interplay that "allows no sloppiness". It is precisely this lively, contrasting exchange that makes every concert by these musicians a special experience.
