The Mikeleiz-Zucchi Duo is a London–based ensemble formed by Canadian saxophonist David Zucchi and Spanish accordionist Iñigo Mikeleiz-Berrade. 

Winners of the Royal Over-Seas League Annual Music Competition’s Mixed Ensemble Prize and City Music Foundation Artists, the Mikeleiz-Zucchi Duo’s repertoire spans everything from reimagined traditional works to modern repertoire and improvisation, all vividly rendered by the unique combination of saxophone and accordion. 

The pair has performed live on In Tune for BBC Radio 3, at the Wigmore Hall, Edinburgh Fringe and at venues across Europe. With roots in jazz and folk, both instruments are on the fringes of classical music, but the combined richness of sound promises a captivating musical experience.

A dance-themed programme includes works by Ardes, Bach, Bartok, and Ravel, as well as more contemporary composers such as Scottish composer, arranger and podcaster Aileen Sweeney and English composer and trombonist Alex Paxton.
