Invencia Piano Duo

The Invencia Piano Duo, comprised of Ukrainian-American pianists Andrey Kasparov and Oksana Lutsyshyn, brings fiery chemistry to their four-hands performances. Based in Arkansas, this husband-and-wife team (who also teach at the University of Central Arkansas) specialize in resurrecting overlooked 20th-century works, particularly championing American composer Paul Bowles. Their acclaimed recordings of Bowles' complete piano works showcase their knack for balancing rhythmic precision with lyrical warmth, from haunting nocturnes to playful miniatures.

Beyond their Bowles expertise heard on recent volumes, projects like *Dualities* reveal their love for contrasting musical ideas, often pairing established composers with modern voices. When not performing or recording on their Invencia Records label, they collaborate with living composers to expand the piano duo repertoire. Their performances crackle with the energy of musicians who’ve spent decades finishing each other’s musical sentences.
