Chan & Ott
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.
