CHRISTOPHER FESTIVAL | YANG-DUGAN DUO: A CONCERT WITHOUT RULES

Performers

CHARLES YANG
(violin, vocals, USA)
PETER DUGAN
(piano, USA)

Duration: 80 min.

A concert without rules with world stages favourites! Charles Yang and Peter Dugan are virtuoso graduates of The Juilliard School armed with the charisma of rock stars. That’s why every one of their performances is akin to a musical fireworks event, one you’ll want to tell everyone about.

Violinist Charles Yang is a GRAMMY and Leonard Bernstein Award winner, a composer, arranger and one of the most distinctive crossover performers out there, whose appearances are eagerly awaited in the most prestigious concert venues – from Carnegie Hall to the Konzerthaus Berlin. Pianist Peter Dugan is an “impressive soloist” (The Washington Post), host of the NPR programme From the Top and a highly sought-after stage partner among outstanding figures in music, including Itzhak Perlman and Renée Fleming.

Both are assuredly forging their own paths in music. Yet together, they are an unforgettable musical adventure.

“At our concerts, classical music is not left to gather dust in a museum. Wrapped up in blues and soul, it sounds as if it were written today. I am still amazed at how organically Czardas sounds alongside Ariana Grande. When stepping onto the stage with Peter, I never know exactly what’s going to happen. And that’s the best part of the performance. We always have an idea of what we’ll play. But we leave space for that moment – for what will unfold between ourselves and the public”, says Yang.

We can only guess as to what will unfold this time. One thing is certain though – what millions enjoy only on their screens, you’ll get the chance to experience live!

Programme features works by Vittorio Monti, Sam Cooke, Charles Yang and others
