About the Concert

Tickets for this event will be available from 12.06.2024 from 10 am.

2 x 88 = 176 - it's rare to find so many keys in the Kulturpalast. Because this time there are two large concert grand pianos on stage! I wonder what special sounds there are to discover in black and white? It's sure to be an adventure for Phili, our curious earth girl! Perhaps she has hidden something among all the keys and strings? Will she manage to lure Victoria and the two piano soloists out of their shell? In any case, they are two likeable young brothers from Holland who will provide fun and good humor with the poetic music of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy.
