PIANO CONCERTS - LIKE NEVER BEFORE!

"A magical concert. The world was not the same afterwards", was the review the last time South African pianist Kristian Bezuidenhout played a concert with Concerto Copenhagen in November 2020. Bezuidenhout and Concerto Copenhagen will repeat the success in 2023.

Kristian Bezuidenhout and Concerto Copenhagen offer contemporary interpretations of Mozart and Beethoven.

In addition to exploring the chamber music sides of the two composers, a Scandinavian angle has been added this time: The concert starts with the German-Swedish Joseph Martin Kraus' - also known as "Sweden's Mozart" - overture to the play Olympia.

Then as now, the orchestra will be led in a chamber music interplay with the piano placed in the middle of the orchestra - as when Beethoven and Mozart themselves played the solo parts for their piano concertos.
