Czech Chamber Music Society • Sergio Marchegiani & Marco Schiavo

Our Evening Concert Series seldom features opera. The conclusion of this season’s series will be all the rarer, with the music of Gioachino Rossini coming to the fore. Instead of arias, however, we will hear a number of his famous overtures arranged for two pianos. According to the critics, the playing of the Marchegiani-Schiavo Piano Duo shows just how exciting it can be to make music together.
