Biography
Bose-Pastor Duo
Since forming the Bose-Pastor Duo in 2012, pianists Pia Bose and Antonio Pastor have garnered widespread acclaim for their “sensitive, alluring, and exhilarating performances.” Praised for their "remarkable dexterity and subtlety” and deep musical rapport, they share the piano “in perfect harmony, ideally complementing one another” (Versoix Région).
Awarded Second Prize at the 18th International Piano Duo Competition in Tokyo, Japan, they have been featured on Magma-Espace 2 (Radio Télévision Suisse), Luxembourg's Radio 100.7, in Scènes Magazine, and Revista Ritmo (Spain). They have performed in major cities including London, Paris, New York, Chicago, Lisbon, Edinburgh, Luxembourg, Antwerp, Milan, Geneva, and throughout Switzerland. Notable venues include Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, the St. Martin-in-the-Fields Embassy Series, St. James's Piccadilly, Palais de l’Athénée, and Preston Bradley Hall, during WFMT radio’s live broadcast of the Dame Myra Hess Memorial Concerts.
In 2023, the Bose-Pastor Duo inaugurated the Roser Piano and Keyboard Alumni Concert Series at the University of Colorado Boulder, with Dancing out of the Past, also performed at San Francisco Noontime Concerts, PianoFest Moudon, and Schubertiade Sion (Switzerland). Their recent collaboration with Cie. Julio Arozarena led to 4 mains dansent Ravel (2025), presented at L'Été Musical en Bergerac - Festival du Périgord Pourpre and L'Esplanade du Lac in Divonne-les-Bains (France), along with 3/4, an interdisciplinary reimagining of Ravel's La Valse through the lens of Edgar Allan Poe, created with choreographer Julio Arozarena and videographer Baptiste Leydecker...

As Ravel wrote, "we are dancing on the edge of a volcano." The Bose-Pastor Duo, in collaboration with choreographer Julio Arozarena and video artist Baptiste Leydecker, offers a striking reinterpretation of La Valse, arranged for piano four-hands, inspired by Ravel's fascination with Edgar Allan Poe. Through the dark mirror of "The Masque of the Red Death," elegance gives way to frenzy, order to chaos, beauty to horror, in an interdisciplinary performance that feels both eerily historic and unsettlingly current.
