About the Concert

2 x 88 = 176. So many keys are rarely found in the Kulturpalast. This time, two grand pianos are on stage! What special sounds in black and white will be discovered there? It will definitely be an adventure – even for Phili, our curious Earth girl! Perhaps she has hidden something among all those keys and strings? Will she succeed in luring Victoria and the two piano soloists out of their shell? They are certainly two young friendly brothers from Holland, who will bring fun and good spirits with the poetic music of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. <br>
