The Academy of Music in Kraków presents a celebration of chamber ensembles for 176 keys: the 5th International Piano Duet Festival “Duettissimo!”. This year’s events focus on music of the 20th century, including works by Polish composers: Paderewski, Lutosławski, Palester and Górecki. The programme doesn't miss also the international giants such as Bach and Beethoven. The grand finale will be filled with symphony music by Haydn, Mendelssohn and Panufnik under the baton of Łukasz Borowicz, and the accompanying concert brings Lieder by Johannes Brahms.
The concerts rebroadcast on Akademia w sieci channel.
