New concert offer for 2026/27:

Café 1930 - Magical soundcolours

Glittering harp sounds and soulful cello tones

Magic happens when the sparkling sounds of the harp meet the human voice of the cello. Duo Hux Seltzer presents a fascinating and colorful sound palette in its new program CAFÉ 1930. Impressionistic, fleeting landscapes and grand romantic feelings. Here, an allusion to Greek song, nocturnal birds, and whirlwinds—where imitations of flute tones, waves, tears, and laughter. Sometimes simple and quiet, sometimes unrestrainedly virtuosic.
The duo plays original compositions and arrangements of works originally written for other instruments, but which are far too beautiful not to also be interpreted with cello and harp.
Classical music that flirts with genres such as tango, film music, klezmer, and folk song—but always elegant, form-conscious, and with a measured dose of drama.

Eva Maria Hux (cello), born in Frauenfeld, lives and works as freelance musician in Stockholm, Sweden. She studied at the Colleges of Music in Winterthur, Würzburg and Stockholm. A substantial scholarship from her home canton Thurgau financed part of her musical studies. Master classes with Norwegian cellist Truls Mork, Anner Bylsma and Raphaele Altwegg gave further artistic impulses. Eva Maria is a member of Duo Arlecchino (cello & harp), Duo Samarkand and Duo Avalon (cello & piano). She appears as soloist and chamber musician mostly in Sweden and Switzerland. 2008 - 2011 Eva Maria was appointed cultural officer at the Embassy of Switzerland in Stockholm. She also writes crime fiction. Her debut novel "Im Labyrinth des Poeten" was published in January 2015 by Latos Verlag and in 2018 her second novel "Die Hand der Mirjam" followed.

Miriam Seltzer (harp) is a freelance harpist based in Stockholm, who studied for her bachelor's and master's degrees at the Malmö Academy of Music.

Duo Specchio

DUO SPECCHIO (Eva Maria Hux och Tove Törngren Brun) has been around since 2020, when the two of us, who have played together in various contexts over the years, formed a cello duo. There is fantastic, expressive and virtuosic repertoire for two cellos, where we get to move in the very highest and lowest registers, and everything in between.

Duo Specchio with an exciting new programme for 2026:

As in a mirror

The Duo Specchio continues to enchant audiences with virtuosic and evocative music Jean Barrière, Östein Sommerfeldt, Béla Bartók, Salvatore Lanzetti and Henry Mancini. A programme that we love to play, and that we hope and believe will please many.
