Anke Pan

The program of the piano recital will include compositions by Robert Schumann, Ferenc Liszt and Fryderyk Chopin. However, the artist's selection of works is not accidental. Each piece artists devoted to each other as an expression of respect, admiration for art and deep friendship that united them. Despite many differences in the sense of aesthetics and lifestyle, the compositional finesse, extraordinary sensitivity and emotionality present in their music remain elements common to the three composers.
