Programme PFA 2020 online!
Dear piano duo enthusiast,
Organizing a festival in times of corona seems impossible. Protocols, one-and-a-half meter distance, constantly changing government measures, the health of our musicians, crew and the audience; all factors that we have been assessing in recent months. Besides the regular organizational and artistic challenges that come with the festival, of course. Whether or not Pianoduo Festival Amsterdam in 2020?
Yes, it is a festival!
The corona crisis has made us aware of one of the most valuable things in life: the power of music. More than ever we realize that music is not just a beautiful thing. Music nourishes us, challenges us, keeps our minds healthy and allows us to be timeless. It is the healthy meal for the soul. From Bach to Herbie Hancock. From Mozart to Peter Beets. These artists have played an indispensable role in the development of humanity. And they still do. All around us we notice that more and more people come to this realization. Our fellow musicians, of course, but also the courageous audience that dared to go to a live concert for up to 30 visitors in recent months, and music lovers who at home in isolation longed for the concert hall. Even more than usual, people are connected with the musicians, the music and with each other. It is not without reason that we dedicate this festival to music legends who have contributed greatly to this. During the Pianoduo Festival Amsterdam 2020 we bring an Ode to the Old Masters.
