Duo Kameleon

Fringe: Duo Kameleon

This concert is part of the free fringe programme of the Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht 2024.

Together, Victoria Oftestad and Agata Sorotokin form Duo Kameleon. The Norway-born Oftestad uses her voice as an instrument, not only to sing, but also as a passionate storyteller. She also plays the recorder. Sorotokin began her music career in California, where she completed studies in literature as well as piano. She also picked up harpsichord and fortepiano, with which she is currently studying early music at the Royal Conservatoire in The Hague.
