Programme: Mozart Sonata for two pianos in D - Ravel Mother Goose suite - Mendelssohn Andante and Allegro - Chaminade Six Pièces Romantiques - Ravel Daphnis et Chloe - Shostakovich Concertino in A minor, Op.94 for two pianos

Through the hands of 4 brilliant pianists, we are transported into a fairytale world with a distinct French flavour, for another two-piano, four-hand extravaganza. Ravel’s enchanting Mother Goose Suite is matched with Ravel’s Daphnis et Chloé, painting an impressionistic soundscape of love, nature, and ancient myth with shimmering colour. Chaminade’s elegant Six Pièces Romantiques and Shostakovich’s fiery Concertino, alongside popular works from Mozart and Mendelssohn, complete a magical programme where intimacy meets virtuosity.
