About the Concert

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

"It's very beautiful, spring-like music and there are so many feelings in it. This music is simply honest!" Anna Vinnitskaya should know: Sergei Rachmaninov's First Piano Concerto is one of her favourite works to play. And which she considers underrated! The second, on the other hand, is one of the best-known late-romantic piano concertos. The hammer-like strokes at the beginning, the melancholy slow movement and the snappy finale will stay with you for a long time…
