The Pestova/Meyer Piano Duo was formed in Amsterdam in 2003, when both
pianists were studying at the Conservatory of Amsterdam in the class of 
Håkon Austbø. 
They share a strong interest in contemporary music and are committed to 
programming new and non-standard works.
Their more recent collaboration featured Magnus Lindberg's explosive work 
Related Rocks for two pianos, percussion and electronics with 
United Instruments of Lucilin in Luxembourg and Riga. 

The Pestova/Meyer piano duo pays tribute to Karlheinz Stockhausen (1928-2007) 
by presenting MANTRA for two pianists and live electronics with concerts 
in Luxemburg, Geneva, Cork and Montreal in 2008.
They are using hardware controllers and a digital Max/MSP patch for the 
electronic processing designed by Mark T. Marshall (McGill University) 
and Jacob Sudol (UCSD). 
This project is funded by the Luxembourg Ministry of Culture and the 
Creative New Zealand Arts Council.


Other upcoming engagements include the two-piano concerto Dialoge by 
Bernd Alois Zimmermann with the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra during 
the contemporary music festival Rainy Days in Luxemburg in 2008.
