Extrakonzert mit Rachel Breen

Experience American pianist Rachel Breen in a diverse and captivating program spanning the Romantic and Modern eras. As a last-minute addition to the festival program, we are delighted to present an extra concert featuring Rachel Breen to our audience. This follows a program change: Rachel Breen was originally scheduled to perform in the duo concert with pianist Jiaxin Min, but had to cancel her appearance for organizational reasons. For the duo concert, we were able to secure Ukrainian pianist Illia Ovcharenko, a prize winner of the renowned Honens Competition. Contrary to expectations, however, an opportunity has now arisen for Rachel Breen to travel to Andeer after all—and we certainly did not want to deprive our audience of this exceptional artist. We are taking this as an opportunity to offer a separate concert at lunchtime—and so the concert is also open to those who decide to attend at the last minute. Like Jiaxin Min, Rachel Breen was a finalist at last year’s Queen Elisabeth Competition, one of the most important competitions in the world of piano. Her program is titled “Coming Home Again” and combines virtuoso showpieces such as Stravinsky’s “Three Movements from Petrushka” or Rachmaninoff’s transcription of Mendelssohn’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” with Beethoven’s wonderful Sonata, Op. 109, and Kurtág’s meditative “blumen die menschen.” Free seating.

No reservations accepted; seating is subject to availability.
