Harkat is bringing Western Classical music right to your doorstep. Every month, they invite world class musicians to perform in their cozy little studio.
But the "Klassik Evening" is not just pure performance of famous pieces, during the course of the evening, the performers will share a slice of life. Anecdotes from the composers' lives, stories that they connect with certain pieces, the meaning behind a 'danse' and a 'waltz.'
They give you an entry to this often so mystified "high art" of classical music - creating a connection even for those who are listening to Western Classical for the first time live.
And for real fans, there's of course nothing more enchanting than being able to watch how the fingers of a world-travelling concert musician dance elegantly across their instrument right in front of your eyes.
Harkat are delighted to welcome a duo which has been brought to life especially for this evening - Polish cellist Magdalena Sas and Swedish pianist Emma Gilljam Tillu.
They will also have the friendly support of Theme Music and Kawai!
