A trio with an amazing energy: Bryce Dessner provides a spectacular concerto; the exceptional Alice Sara Ott plays the piano; and Elim Chan presents it as host and conductor. To be heard live in this combination only at the Casual Concert in March. And in the Lounge afterwards, the foyer itself will become the dance floor – with a live act, DJ and even more good music.
When she grew up, Alice Sara Ott wanted to be a »pianist or Chancellor Kohl«. She was just five at the time. We now of course know what came of it: she became one of the acclaimed pianists of our time. At one time a hyped young artist, she has become a stunning interpreter, and she’s now performing the new piano concerto by an American multi-talent: Bryce Dessner composes masterfully for stage, concert hall, and numerous film scores as well; at the same time, he’s the guitarist of the indie rock band The National. What an exciting duo.
