Zoco DuoZoco Duo is an exciting ensemble in which Jacob Cordover (Spain/Australia) and Laura Karney (Spain/USA) bring together the diverse elements of the oboe and guitar. Zoco Duo has been heard in concert in Australia, Canada, China, England, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the USA, including performances at the Leicester Festival, Festival Internazionale del Coros, Beijing String-139 Festival and Music By The Sea.
The Spanish derivative of the Arabic word for market, a zoco was a place where a myriad of sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of the exotic mingled. It is in this spirit that the oboe and the guitar come together, merging their individual sounds to play an eclectic mix of musical styles. From Baroque to Romantic, Classical to Contemporary, European to the Americas, Zoco Duo creates an experience full of exotic sounds, musical textures and atmospheres.
