In 2012, they won the International Percussion Competition of Luxembourg (first prize, audience prize, and Lalux prize). They perform repertoire ranging from Bach to Takemitsu, but are constantly seeking innovation in classical percussion by making their music suitable for dance and theater and integrating electronics.
