Double Forte: Two Pianos

Pianists Wu Qian and Juho Pohjonen unite for a dazzling four-hand performance that spans centuries and styles. Bach’s Passacaglia in C minor and Mozart’s Fugue in C minor showcase the brilliance of counterpoint, while Gershwin’s An American in Paris pulses with jazz-infused color and rhythm. The evening culminates with Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances, a work of sweeping intensity and orchestral grandeur reimagined for two pianos.
