Hayato Sumino, known as “Cateen,” is not only a social media star, but also a pianist with a great love of experimentation and his own musical signature. In Dresden, he will present the world premiere of a new work and bring American musical magic to the stage with Gershwin's legendary Rhapsody in Blue. The program is complemented by Richard Strauss' mischievous Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks and Bernstein's rousing Symphonic Dances from West Side Story – an evening full of energy and color.

When Patricia Kopatchinskaja and Fazıl Say come together, chamber music becomes an event - passionate, experimental, and full of intensity. The piano takes center stage: Fazıl Say shapes the evening with his immediately moving, powerful signature style - both as a performer and as a composer.
Together, they devote themselves to Szymanowski's richly tonal Myths, present their own works - Kopatchinskaja's “UniSolo” and Say's “Lost Screams Sonata” - and crown the program with Beethoven's monumental “Kreutzer Sonata,” whose pianistic brilliance and dramatic force challenge the piano as much as they make it shine.
