For several years, Pascal has enjoyed playing recitals for four hands/two pianos with his partner in life and music Ami Rogé.  Together, they have travelled the world appearing at prestigious festivals and concert halls including New York's Carnegie Hall, London's King's Place, The Sage Gateshead, City Recital Hall Angel Place Sydney, the Hong Kong Joy of Music Festival, the Singapore International Piano Festival, the Australian Festival of Chamber Music, the Beijing International Piano Festival, on tour in New Zealand, at Incontri in Terra di Sienna in Tuscany and at many British festivals.
