Greek-Swedish mezzo-sporano, Hera Protopapas and German Classical pianist, Anjulie Chen will perform Schubert's Song cycle, Winterreise.  

Schubert's Winterreise is a song cycle of 24 pieces, each telling a story of heartbreak and isolation.  it's intense-bitter cold, unrequited love, a lone wanderer.  Composed in 1827, it's peak Romanticism, with haunting melodies that grip your soul.  Schubert's genius shines, capturing raw human emotion.

Enjoy an engaging recital with the Gugg Piano Duo, a young ensemble steadily building an international reputation after winning several first prizes in prestigious competitions.  Their programme brings together the intimacy of Franz Schubert, the vivid colours and rhythmic drive of Igor Stravinsky's Petrushka Suite for piano four hands, and a contemporary work by Polish composer Hanna Kulenty.  Known for their thoughtful passionate and committed playing, the Gugg Piano Duo offers a concert that is both fresh and inviting - an afternoon well worth hearing.

PROGRAMME:

• Franz Schubert (1797-1828): Allegro in A minor, D. 947 "Lebensstürme" and Rondo in A major, D. 951

• Hanna Kulenty (1961*): "VAN"

• Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971): Petrushka for Piano Four Hands (Burlesque in Four Scenes)
