Music Delight Series: Queenz of Piano

A piano duo that treats their two grand pianos with amazing audacity! 

An entertaining show with dazzling éclat by the Queenz of Piano from Germany.

Two queens will play classical music, pop and rock music in a charming and especially magic way that you have never heard before! 
 

Chosen to get the German award “Thüringer Kleinkunstpreis” in 2015 for their “musical, acrobatical unique work of arts”, the Queenz of Piano demonstrate that it is possible to have a lot of fun in a classical concert whilst simultaneously traversing the border between classical and pop music played on two grand pianos!  They play classical music, pop and rock music in a fiery, silent, groovy, charming and especially magic way! Jennifer Rüth and Ming elicit tones the audience has never heard before.  Using their grand pianos as percussion instruments plucking strings, they create sounds that remind us of a guitar, a zither, a bouzouki, a bongo drum or a Japanese koto.

In this programme, you can listen to Beethoven’s famous The Ode to Joy in a very special version.  If you listen carefully you may recognize some quotes of another popular song of joy and happiness: Pharell William’s Happy.  They show how Nirvana’s Smells like Teen Spirit would sound, if Kurt Cobain was a friend of Johann Sebastian Bach and what cool effects the influence of ragtime has on Mozart’s Turkish March.  It is a fantastic show for people who love music and humour.  The pianists offer a superb combination of female charm and intoxicating piano entertainment.  Their music is not just for lovers of classical as well modern pop music.  Mastering the balancing act between entertainment and ambitious music makes this event an extraordinary piano concert.  The queens provide a night to remember for everyone who cannot quote Nietzsche but knows that "life without music is an error."
