With their enthusiasm and contagious energy, they are the French piano duo currently making their mark on French and international stages.

Since 2011, Naïri Badal and Adélaïde Panaget have formed the Duo Jatekok, Hungarian for “game”. An idea that will become their signature.

Following in the footsteps of their critically acclaimed albums “Danses”, “The Boys” and “Carnaval”, they offer each concert a musical cocktail that reflects their dynamism and expressiveness.

They regularly appear as soloists or with orchestra at the Festival de la Roque d’Anthéron, the Théâtre du Châtelet, the Seine musicale in Paris, the Salle Flagey and Bozar in Brussels, as well as the Nouveau siècle in Lille, the Opéra de Tours, Folle Journée in Nantes and Warsaw, the Shenzhen Philharmonic, Hong Kong, Guatemala, Glasgow… They are regularly invited by the orchestras of Lille, Geneva, Brussels, Guatemala, the BBC orchestra…Since 2023, they have been associate artists with the Opéra de Limoges.

They also multiply opportunities to present original projects to the public, whether through sand drawing, mime or hip hop. Crossover doesn’t scare them, so much so that they’ve been asked to open for German metal band Rammstein on their tour of European and American stadiums in 2019 and 2022. To mark the occasion, they recorded their “Duo Jatekok plays Rammstein” arrangements for Universal.

Naïri Badal and Adélaïde Panaget have won over a public that recognizes their sincerity, their complicity and their talent. Jatekok: playing the piano, with the piano, four hands, 2 pianos, classical, contemporary, with the audience, with other musicians, other soloists. Playing is the essence of their Duo.
