Together, Pierre Fontenelle and Frin Wolter form the Duo Kiasma, boldly traveling across different
stylistic horizons by combining the sounds of their respective instruments, the cello and the accordion,
in an unclassifiable repertoire. Through their creativity, spontaneity and virtuosity, these two young
virtuosos share their personal vision of the role of the musician in the 21st century. 1st Prize of the
International Accordé’Opale Competition (France) in 2017 and Coup de Coeur of the Royal Juillet
Musical de St. Hubert, the Duo specialises in arranging, transcribing and recomposing a wide range of
music : classical (Dowland, Rameau, Bruch, Shostakovich, Messiaen), jazz, folk, rock, film scores
(John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, Ennio Morricone, John Barry), or contemporary music
(Tõnu Kõrvits, Arvo Pärt, Denis Bosse, Philippe Hersant...).
The duo regularly plays in Belgium, Luxembourg and France, having been programmed in festivals such
as les Festivals de Wallonie, le Festival Accordé'Opale, Le Royal Juillet Musical de Saint-Hubert, and
having performed in prestigious venues such as the Philharmonie de Luxembourg, the Queen Elisabeth
Music Chapel and the Philharmonie de Liège. In December 2018, the Duo participated in the
Christmas Concerts of la Monnaie and of the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel, the project culminating
with the traditional Christmas Concert at the Royal Palace for the Belgian Royal Family. In summer
2019, they performed in Taiwan and in Shanghai, returning to Taiwan in summer 2023 and 2024, and
soon in 2025.
Pierre and Frin, prizewinners in numerous international competitions, simultaneously pursue careers
as soloists and teachers.
