Igudesman & Joo: A little Nightmare music

Program

 

Richard Hyung-ki JOO on piano and Aleksey IGUDESMAN on violin.

" The concert begins. The music is sublime. Not even a pin would dare drop. Suddenly, a cellphone rings and the madness starts.

The pianist loses his hand, the violinist, while tuning, falls asleep, and later wakes up in the middle of a motorway, transformed into a " Riverdancer".

When the pianist returns, the piano is locked, telling him to insert his credit card.

Meanwhile, the violinist loses his bow to a vacuum cleaner and his partner just talks on the phone while reading a paper, eating, and, playing the piano upside down at the same time. These and many other " nightmares" unfold before audiences' s eyes and ears.

A little " Nightmare Music" is a unique show, full of virtuosity, enchanting music and zany, outrageous humour.

Ideal for audiences aged between 8 and 88, this show is sure to captivate you and crack you up whether you're a classical music enthusiast or the type who runs for cover, at the mere mention of Mozart. "
