Joint Venture Percussion Duo

Since the Duo's inception in 2007, the collaboration between Joint Venture percussionists Rachel Xi Zhang (China) and Laurent Warnier (Luxembourg) has reflected a blend of cultural and musical differences.
Joint Venture played in venues such as the National Center of Performing Arts Beijing, Shenzhen Symphony Hall and gave recitals in many different conservatories. In the summer of 2010, they were invited by the Luxembourgish Ministry of Culture to perform at the Luxembourg Pavilion of the World Expo in Shanghai.
Joint Venture won the Bernard Haitink Prize during the 2009-2011 edition of the Vriendenkrans Competition in the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam. As a result, the duo was awarded a 9-concert tour throughout the premier halls of the Netherlands and a scholarship.
