Piano party with Liza Bochkareva and Martin Oei.

On October 13 and November 3, 2018 the time has come: I can play the beautiful Bösendorfer pianos from BOL again in the Concertgebouw. But there is a sad side to those concerts: Daniel Wayenberg was originally going to be there, but he is still recovering after an operation and cannot perform in the coming months.

Fortunately, Liza Bochkareva, a young pianist from Montenegro, who taught me at the Utrecht Conservatory, is willing to perform with me. We have put together a very nice alternative program for October 13 : we will play the piano concertos by Grieg and Rachmaninov (the Second) on two grand pianos.

The program on November 3 is unchanged, instead of Daniel Wayenberg, Liza Bochkoreva plays the orchestral part of Tchaikovsky's First Piano Concerto. Before the break, the Liszt sonata and a special version of the Rondo a la Turca in a virtuoso arrangement by Arcadi Volodos.

Last year we had sold out halls, this year the organization has made the Piano Parties extra attractive and delicious petit fours are ready during the break. So come and listen to the new generation of pianists in the Concertgebouw on beautiful grand pianos from BOL!
