BUILDING BRIDGES

Meeting people always arouses great opportunities

Milan, Teatro Filodrammatici 26, 27, 28 September 2016

THE IDEA

András Schiff ‘s concern is to support young pianists apart from the established competitions. Each season he chooses three young talents and invites them to play in one hour-recitals in front of interested piano music lovers as well as a deliberately chosen professional audience - artists‘ agents, representatives of the record industry and fellow musicians.

The invited pianists have finished their studies and have normally taken part in various prestigious competitions. But still they are just starting their professional careers and need prudent and sustainable support to shape their future successfully. Through András Schiff engagement they receive the opportunity to establish and extend contacts to the professional musical world.

The repertoire of their concerts is planned by András Schiff according to the individual artistic and interpretive character of the musicians on the one hand. On the other hand the programs are being put into the context of a concert series. This concert series is presented by various promoters in Europe and America. Thus a musical platform shall be established where young musicians can develop their own professional network in an exclusive setting.

The series will be presented in Italy, in Florence and Milan, for the first time in the season 2016/2017.

Before listening to our new young talents live, here you can enjoy their fine musical gifts.

MICHAEL BROWN

“An artist with bewitching and charming flair”

Winner of a 2015 Avery Fisher Career Grant, Michael Brown has been described by The New York Times as a “young piano visionary” and “one of the leading figures in the current renaissance of performer-composers.” He is equally committed as a pianist and composer; his unique artistry is reflected in a creative approach to programming that often interweaves the classics with contemporary works and his own compositions.
