Piano Battle

Saturday, April 13, 2019 at 8PM at Landmark on Main Street

Two Pianists, Six rounds, Chopin Vs. Liszt, Debussy vs. Schubert, Black vs. White.

Who will be the first to cross the finish line? The audience will decide.

Winning the audience's heart is the only thing that counts! The brainchild of internationally acclaimed pianists Andreas Kern and Paul Cibis, Piano Battle sees the duo go head-to-head on stage, charming and enchanting the audience with a variety of classical pieces. The show is divided into several rounds, each featuring a certain musical style. The two artists, good friends with distinctly different performance techniques, will even go so far as to improvise on the tune you request.

YOU ARE THE JUDGE
A competition wouldn't be a competition without a jury and here, YOU will be the judge! All members of the audience are invited to vote on the pianists' performances and eventually crown the winner. Of course, that might not be the limit of your participation...

Part serious classical recital part tongue-in-cheek performance by classy pianists, Piano Battle is a unique concert that pleases both the ear and the eye.

Originally created for the Hong Kong City Festival, Piano Battle has been performed for sold-out audiences in Europe, the United States and Asia, including Shanghai Oriental Arts Center, Seoul Arts Center and an open air spectacle before 6,000 fans in Taiwan. The show has also been well received in the pianists' home country where Andreas Kern and Paul Cibis have performed for enthusiastic audiences in concert halls and at festivals all over Germany- including the Beethovenfest Bonn, the Rheingau Musik Festival, the Schleswig Holstein Musik Festival, the Prinzregententheater Munich and the Philharmonie Berlin.
