HENRI ZIBO and MIKK LANGEPROON have been performing together since 2012. During this time, they have given hundreds of concerts in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Finland. Their most notable appearances include performances on various television programmes such as Klassikatähed, Laulud sõdurile, Terevisioon, Ringvaade, and Telehommik, as well as concerts in Estonia’s leading concert venues, including the Estonia Concert Hall, the large hall of the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre, and the House of the Blackheads.
The duo has also regularly performed in small cultural centres, community houses, and churches across Estonia in concerts organised by the Music Trust PLMF. They have appeared at numerous festivals, including the Rapla Church Music Festival, Virumaa Music Festival, Tallinn Winter Festival, Tallinn Chamber Music Festival, Valga-Valka Church Summer Music Festival, the Small Church Music Festival in Tartu, and others.
Over the years, the duo’s repertoire has featured a wide range of classical masterpieces, including Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite. In addition, they perform various shorter works and have introduced audiences to several new compositions and premieres by Estonian composers.
In 2018, the duo participated in the prestigious international accordion competition Coupe Mondiale, where they achieved 5th place in the chamber music category. Today, Henri Zibo and Mikk Langeproon are among the most sought-after accordion performers in Estonia, giving concerts regularly almost every week.
