Duo Schiavo-Marchegiani. A quattro mani con Schubert: 1

The ‘Dedicata’ concert season organised by the Pinerolo and Turin Music Academy Foundation continues with further high-profile events paying tribute to the great masters.

This concert showcases the refined musical interplay of four-hand piano playing by the Schiavo-Marchegiani Duo. With the concert *Four Hands with Schubert: 1*, the duo are the first performers in an ambitious three-year project by the Academy dedicated to exploring the Viennese master’s repertoire; they will perform the *Fantasia* D. 940, *Introduction, Variations and Finale on an Original Theme* D. 968a; *Lebensstürme* D. 947 and *Eight Variations on a French Lied* D. 624.

Since 2006, Sergio Marchegiani and Marco Schiavo have formed a duo acclaimed by audiences and critics alike for their highly personal style, the beauty of their sound and their overwhelming interpretative energy. With over 1,000 concerts to their credit in the world’s most prestigious concert halls (from Carnegie Hall in New York to the Philharmonie in Berlin, from the Musikverein in Vienna to Suntory Hall in Tokyo), they have collaborated with orchestras such as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and have recorded exclusive albums with Decca.

The concert will be preceded at 8.00 pm by the talk ‘Inseguire le note’ (Chasing the Notes), hosted by Claudio Voghera (free admission).
