OPENING WEEKEND - THE GALA CONCERT

Some of the most prominent chamber musicians of the Netherlands will perform a programme that includes music by Schubert, Mendelssohn, Schumann, Piazzolla and more.  The Gala Concert is a fun fundraiser for scholarships of talented young musicians from low-income families to be able to study at the Davidsbündler Music Academy, including a number of Ukrainian pianists who have come to The Netherlands as refugees. Two of these unbelievably talented young Ukrainian pianists will also perform for you.
