ROSCO AVEC
ROSCO AVEC was established in January 2021, on the occasion of a recital commemorating 20 years since the forming of ROSCO (comprising Fumiko Kai on violin and Kaori Osuga on piano) in 2001. The aim of the ROSCO AVEC project is to pursue the possibilities of a duo featuring the ubiquitous arrangement of violin and piano, and to create performances and works that will stand the test of time on a global scale. In addition to kickstarting collaborative work by performers and composers, the duo will commission new works to encourage the creation of music and art.
