It has almost become a tradition for Sir András Schiff to perform a series of concerts at the Pierre Boulez Saal over the turn of the year. In addition to a solo recital featuring Bach's “Goldberg” Variations, the latest edition is dedicated to chamber music. Joined by a group of close musical friends, Schiff will be heard in two different trio programs and vocal recitals of music by Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Bartók, and others. In a very special performance, he also appears together with young pianists he has mentored as part of his “Building Bridges” initiative.
