Duo Ostinato veido saksofonists un komponists Filips Geiss (Philippe Geiss) un pianiste Marija Opī (Marija Aupy). Tā ir īpaša muzikāla savienība, kuras sniegumā interpretācijas prasības mijas ar improvizācijas brīvību.
Ansamblis, kurš izveidots 2015. gadā, ātri vien ir iemantojis starptautisku reputāciju, uzstājoties Francijā, Vācijā, Austrijā, Itālijā, Somijā, Ungārijā, Slovēnijā, Japānā, Dienvidkorejā, Ķīnā, Honkongā, Taivānā, Austrālijā un ASV. Abi aizrautīgie kamermūzikas pārstāvji savu muzikālo sniegumu bagātina, meklējot arvien jaunu repertuāru un veidojot dialogu starp mūzikas stiliem. Soli pa solim, izmantojot oriģināldarbus un Filipa Geisa aranžējumus, viņi ir izveidojuši savu īpašo mūzikas valodu.
Filips Geiss ir viens no izcilākajiem franču akadēmiskās saksofonspēles pārstāvjiem. Vairāki no JVLMA studentiem jau pabijuši Erasmus+ ietvaros pie šī profesora Strasbūrā, un šobrīd viņš ir arī saksofonista Aigara Raumaņa darba vadītājs doktorantūras studijās JVLMA. Filips Geiss Latvijā viesojas ar Francijas Institūta finansiālu atbalstu.
