PIANO NIGHTS 2009

 

In 2009 Lake Weissensee experienced a concert atmosphere it had never known before: At PIANO NIGHTS – presented by event manager *yourCO! – 5,200 spectators enjoyed unforgettable open-air evenings with the Duo Kutrowatz & Martin Schmitt.

 

 

At the prelude to PIANO NIGHTS 2009 at Lake Weissensee, the duo Johannes Kutrowatz & Eduard Kutrowatz presented what they referred to as “a concert of selected favourite pieces”, with works by Astor Piazzolla, Darius Milhaud, Dave Brubeck, George Gershwin and Roland Batik. An impressive sound experience on two commanding Bösendorfer Imperial grand pianos, with support from the percussionist Anton Mühlbacher.

The next day, the German multi-talent Martin Schmitt and his ten-person band took to the stage. His two-hour programme, made up almost exclusively of his own compositions, included snappy, jazzy titles, but also ballads and chansons. Schmitt summed it up: “This concert was one of the Top 5 in my personal hit list.”
