Doppelklänge – Juan Elvira Márquez & Heike A. Schlunck
Pianist & instrument maker / talk concert
A dialogue of duality
A young pianist from Granada full of lightness, Juan Elvira Márquez, and a virtuoso grand piano builder specialising in old Steinway grand pianos, Heike A. Schlunck, together create an evening in the Recital Hall of the Elbphilharmonie that is as grandiose as it is unusual.
Heike A. Schlunck, who presents two grand pianos that she has professionally restored to perfection – a large concert grand piano of size D and a small one of size S - on stage, leads through the programme with background information and anecdotes. Juan Elvira Márquez plays these grand pianos with inimitable ease and sensitively expresses their individual sound characters.
Please note: this event takes place in German.
