Saviet/Houston Duo

Founded in Berlin in 2019, the Saviet/Houston duo focuses on collaborations with composers, new and experimental music, their own compositions and music from the 19th and 20th centuries.

They began with a concert evening on the theme of nature and conservation as part of Sasha Waltz’s festival ZUHÖREN #4. In 2022, Saviet/Houston performed several new works for retuned piano and violin by Catherine Lamb at km28 in Berlin. This was followed by performances of works by George Lewis and Enno Poppe at Wigmore Hall/London, the world premiere of Rebecca Saunders/Enno Poppe’s ‘Taste’ at the Wittener Tage für neue Kammermusik 2022, performances at the AFEKT Festival (Estonia), Ann Cleare and Xenakis at the National Concert Hall, Dublin, and a programme of our own piece Unfoldings at the Ultraschall Festival (Berlin) in 2023. In addition, Saviet/Houston has given lectures and workshops at the Akademie für Tonkunst Darmstadt, the University of Glasgow, the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, the Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln, Oxford University, UC San Diego, the Cork School of Music and the Hochschule für Musik Hannover.
