Programme

Overview

Discover the art of four-handed piano duet as Emma Abbate and Julian Perkins bring Mozart, Weber and 20th-century British and American composers to life on an authentic fortepiano. Experience intimate storytelling and shimmering ensemble playing in an evening of historical colour and emotional depth.Step into a world of carefully woven dialogue and rich historical colour as Emma Abbate and Julian Perkins present an evocative programme for piano four-hands. On an authentic period fortepiano, the duo navigates Mozart’s elegant sonatas with crystalline clarity before exploring Weber’s spirited duets on a Viennese instrument. The evening then turns to British treasures of the twentieth century, drawing on their acclaimed Tournament for Twenty Fingers disc, and culminates in the American soundscapes of their latest recording, Summer Dreams. Praised for their nuanced interplay and compelling musical storytelling, Abbate and Perkins reveal fresh insights in every movement, from delicately balanced ornamentation to playful exchanges of contrasting themes. This intimate concert experience invites listeners to savour the unique colours and textures that only a piano four-hand duet can deliver.
