About Beatbox Symphony:

Beatbox Symphony is a creative partnership formed in July 2014 between a classical pianist and
a professional beatboxer, combining the two historically distinct art forms into an incredible
combination of dark, modern, powerful and intensely melodic music.
The two performers seek to create innovative, beautiful, and nuanced music that transcends
traditional genres and stretches the limits of the beatboxing and piano art forms.
