Neo-Klassik trifft Jazz

In the organizer's words:

Piano duo Hyeyeon Kim & Deborah Coombe

The two pianists Hyeyeon Kim and Deborah Coombe will take you into the world of classical ballet. Both were colleagues at Theater Lüneburg. Hyeyeon Kim as a ballet repetiteur - now in Hamburg at the John Neumeier Ballet School - and Deborah Coombe as the long-standing director of the ballet studio. Their program will fascinate you with piano arrangements of two monumental works of the 20th century:
Igor Stravinsky's "Petrushka", a dramatic masterpiece of the ballet renaissance, which premiered in Paris in 1911 with Diaghilev's legendary "Ballets Russes".
Sergei Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliet", commissioned by the Bolshoi Theater in Moscow and also performed there in 1945.
Both works are characterized by their captivating dynamics and emotional depth and celebrate the music of classical ballet.
