When Steffen Schleiermacher sits down at the grand piano, a space of extraordinary intensity is created.
For decades, this multi-award-winning pianist, composer and curator has been one of the most prominent advocates of a style of music that is inquisitive, uncompromising and always in search of sounds beyond the beaten track. Together with his long-standing collaborator Andreas Seidel, he opens the door to two radical free spirits: Galina Ustvolskaya and Morton Feldman. An evening ranging from brute force to floating silence – led by two musicians who know this terrain like few others.
