Premiere: The GrauSchumacher Piano Duo from Germany
Following a six-month closure for renovation, the auditorium of the Goethe-Institut is ready to celebrate its re-opening. To mark this special occasion, we are delighted to welcome German pianists Andreas Grau and Götz Schumacher to perform for us on Thursday, September 8th, 2016. The pianists have been performing together since the 1980s and communication between the two apparently kindred spirits has become almost telepathic. The piano duo is internationally renowned and has performed at several festivals and concert halls, including the Cologne Philharmonic, the Cité de la Musique in Paris, the Salzburg Festival and the Lucerne Festival. This is their first performance in Thailand.
We invite you to come along and enjoy an evening of great musical mastery with works by Schubert, Mozart, Scriabin, Rachmaninow and others.
