We zijn er vroeg bij om nu reeds een pianotrio te boeken voor een concert op zondag 21 september 2025, 20.00 uur. Deze kans om dit gerenommeerde trio te kunnen boeken was uitgelezen, en daarom hebben we het aanbod van hun kant met beide handen aangegrepen en nu al vastgelegd.

Het programma bestaat vermoedelijk uit:

Maurice Ravel – Sonata for Violin and Cello

Sergei Prokofiev – Violin Sonata No 2 in D Major, op 94a

Robert Schumann – 5 Pieces in Folk Style, Op. 102

Arnold Schönberg – Verklärte Nacht, Op. 4 (arranged for PianoTrio by Henk Guittart) Hier komt een ander stuk voor omdat Chekhov Trio het al heeft uitgevoerd op 24-11-2024

Kaartjes kopen kan nu nog niet. Dat komt volgend jaar wel.

Deze tekst vertalen we nog. Een geduld tot seizoen 2025-2026

Andrey Gugnin (piano), Anna Lipkind-Mazor (violin), and Dmitry Prokofiev (cello) gathered rich international touring experience from halls such as Carnegie Hall (New York), Wigmore Hall (London), Philharmonie de Paris, Auditorio Nacional (Madrid), Berlin Philharmonie, and the Big Hall of the Moscow Conservatory into a coherent, conceptually driven ensemble. The Amsterdam Piano Trio is revolutionizing the traditional piano trio format, transforming it into a dynamic and engaging experience that invites audiences to discover something entirely new. Their mission is not to adhere to an existing format or icon but to recreate the trio as a vibrant dialogue among three distinct personalities, three soloists, three stories. In their innovative approach, the trio is not seen as a single entity but rather as a conversation and debate among three voices and three duos. This is reflected in their unique concert programs, which feature a combination of duets, triple concerts with orchestras, and solo works. Moving away from conventional trends or specific repertoires, they emphasize masterworks and build programs around one masterwork, with three pieces—either solos or duos— that lead up to a grand finale, embodying the principle that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Amsterdam Piano Trio is based in the Netherlands and focuses on unveiling rare opuses, side by side with long-celebrated masterpieces. While doing so, the artists do not shy away from their Russian musical heritage and repertoire that was written in turbulent times, striving to liberate great music from its historical context. At the beginning of 2024, they performed the Dutch premiere of Henk Guittart’s arrangement of Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night), and they will be the first to release a recording of this remarkable arrangement on their forthcoming CD under the renowned Hyperion label. In the upcoming season, they will make their debuts at prestigious venues including the Berlin Konzerthaus, the Vienna Konzerthaus, and several other distinguished concert halls. Winner of the 2024 Classic Piano Competition, concert pianist Andrey Gugnin is rapidly gaining international acclaim as a passionately virtuosic performer who possesses an “extraordinarily versatile and agile technique, which serves an often inspired musical imagination” (Gramophone). A crowning achievement in his recent career is the prestigious honor of winning the 12th International German Piano Award in 2023. In 2020, the BBC Music Magazine Awards named Gugnin the winner of the Instrumental Award for his recording Shostakovich: 24 Preludes – Piano Sonatas 1 & 2 (Hyperion). Since winning the prestigious Sydney International Piano Competition in 2016, Gugnin has gone from strength to strength in concerts and recordings which exhibit his impassioned interpretations. In addition to winning in Sydney, Gugnin also received prizes at this illustrious competition for Best Overall Concerto, Best 19th/20th Century Concerto, Best Violin and Piano Sonata, and Best Preliminaries for his first-round recital. He won the Gold Medal and Audience Award at the XCI International Gina Bachauer Piano Competition in 2014 and second prize at the 2013 Beethoven International Piano Competition in Vienna. Increasingly in demand as a concerto soloist, Gugnin has been invited to perform as a guest artist with notable orchestras worldwide, such as the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Danish Radio Orchestra, the Mariinsky Symphony Orchestra, the Netherlands Symphony Orchestra, Utah Symphony, West Australian Symphony Orchestra, and the Sydney Symphony. He has performed under the distinguished batons of Maestro Valery Gergiev, Jaap Van Zweden, Reinbert de Leeuw, Daniel Raiskin, Stanislav Kochanovsky, and Asher Fisch. Gugnin’s expanding list of performance venues includes Vienna’s Musikverein, Auditorio Nacional in Madrid, Victoria Hall in Geneva, Carnegie Hall in New York, Abravanel Hall in Salt Lake City, Sydney Opera House, the Great Hall of the Moscow State Conservatory, Mariinsky Concert Hall, the Louvre in Paris, Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space, and Asahi Hamarikyu Hall. Gugnin has also participated in a plethora of international festivals, including Verbier, Klavier Festival Ruhr, Mariinsky International Festival, Dubrovnik Summer Festival, the Ohrid Summer Festival, and the Duszniki Chopin International Festival. In this season, he will be returning to the Bard Music Festival in New York, Husum Festival in Germany, giving recitals in Salzburg and Linz in Austria, a tour in Japan with the Nagoya Philharmonic Orchestra, and performances in Spain, Portugal, Singapore, Taiwan, and Australia. He will also have recitals in Sydney and Melbourne and will serve as artistic director of the OutWest Piano Fest. Born into a family immersed in a rich tradition of string playing shaped by legends like David Oistrakh, Mikhail Garlicky, Zinaida Gilels, and the original Borodin Quartet, Israeli violinist Anna Lipkind-Mazor has been a vibrant presence on the international music scene since her first solo performance. Her early education placed her under the tutelage of icons such as Zakhar Bron, Boris Kuschnir, Salvatore Accardo, Victor Danchenko, Ida Haendel, Shlomo Mintz, Miriam Fried, Thomas Brandis, Petru Monteanu, Itzhak Perlman, Ivry Gitlis, Tsugio Tokunaga, and Georgy Pauk, who played a crucial role in shaping her early musical path. Anna’s first performance as a soloist with an orchestra at age six marked the beginning of an extensive career that quickly blossomed with invitations to prestigious international festivals such as Vladimir Spivakov’s Moscow Meets Friends, the Oleg Kagan Festival in Kreuth, Germany, the Portogruaro and Lucca Festivals in Italy, the Miyazaki Festival in Japan, Brandenburgische Sommerkonzerte in Germany, Gaia Festival in Switzerland, Viana Festival in Portugal, and the Eilat Chamber Music Festival. There, she shared stages with luminaries including Peter Donohoe, Pavel Gililov, Ivry Gitlis, Julian Rachlin, Maxim Vengerov, Natalia Gutman, Pinchas Zukerman, Patricia Kopachinskaja, David Grimal, Lahav Shani, and Stacey Watton, to mention just a few. Additionally, she has performed as a soloist with renowned orchestras including the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra of Chisinau, and Sinfonietta Baden, among others. At the age of 16, a debut performance as a soloist with the Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Zubin Mehta led to Anna’s move to Europe to study with Pavel Vernikov at the Vienna Conservatory, and Josef Rissin in the Musikhochschule in Karlsruhe, where she became a prize winner in four international competitions. Since then, her performances have graced renowned venues such as Flagey in Brussels, Belgium, the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, Sakura Hall in Tokyo, Japan, Duna Palota in Budapest, Hungary, Sendesaal of the Hessischer Rundfunk in Frankfurt, Germany, Berlin Philharmonie, Konzerthaus in Vienna, Austria, Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg, Germany, Paris Philharmonie, and KKL in Luzern, Switzerland, among others. In addition to her solo career, Anna has a deep passion for chamber music. She joined her husband, cellist Gavriel Lipkind, as a member of the internationally acclaimed Lipkind Quartet, where she played until the quartet ceased its activities in 2018. She was later a co-producer of the ‘Lipkind plays…’ series and is now a member of the Amsterdam Piano Trio. Her leadership extends offstage as well; in 2023, Anna founded the Amsterdam Concert Series and is now the head of artistic programming at ConcertLab B.V. Anna plays on a 1781 Gagliano violin (the “Martelenne”) thanks to the generous support of R & v.T. Dmitry Prokofiev, a distinguished cellist and conductor, emerged from a lineage of musicians and honed his craft at the prestigious Tchaikovsky Moscow Conservatory under the mentorship of the acclaimed Natalia Gutman, graduating in 2005. He further expanded his artistry in orchestral conducting, completing his studies in 2022. Prokofiev’s career is decorated with accolades from esteemed international competitions, including the Tchaikovsky International Competition and the Tansman and Janigro International Cello Competitions. He spent over a decade enriching the musical landscape as a member of the “Moscow Virtuosi” Quintet and has imparted his passion for music through his roles at the Moscow Conservatory and as a guest professor at the Montenegro Music Conservatory. A revered soloist, Prokofiev has graced stages globally, performing in iconic venues such as the Moscow Conservatory’s Big Hall, Auditorium du Louvre, Philharmonie de Paris, Rudolfinum in Prague, Philharmonie Luxembourg, and the Berlin Philharmonie. His performances have been led by renowned conductors including Vladimir Spivakov, Yuri Bashmet, and Dmitry Liss, among others. As a chamber musician, Prokofiev has collaborated with luminaries such as Jessye Norman, Vladimir Spivakov, and Nikolai Lugansky, participating in high-profile festivals like the Vladimir Ashkenazy Festival in Finland, Kreuth Chamber Music Festival in Germany, and “La folle journée” in France. Prokofiev’s discography includes a debut CD in 1997 and his latest release in 2022 under Naxos Records, featuring a captivating selection of 20th-century Italian cello compositions. His multifaceted career, marked by international acclaim and collaborative success, makes Dmitry Prokofiev a compelling choice for concert promoters seeking a world-class talent to enrich their musical offerings.
