“From Time to Time” is an extraordinary musical journey that traces the shifting landscapes of expression, memory and emotion across centuries of keyboard mastery. This performance invites listeners to explore how composers from different eras have captured the fleeting essence of time – from the architectural perfection of the Baroque era to the fluid, dreamlike worlds of Impressionism, Romanticism and beyond.

The programme bridges generations of genius, featuring masterpieces by Johann Sebastian Bach, Claude Debussy and Sergei Rachmaninoff. Each work serves as a stylistic marker in history, illustrating how the language of the piano has evolved while continuing to speak to the universal human experience.
The evening culminates with Robert Schumann’s Kreisleriana, Op. 16, one of the ultimate monuments of Romantic piano literature. Composed in a feverish state of inspiration over just a few days, this dramatic eight-movement suite brings the concert to a powerful close. It serves as a profound reflection on the fragmentation of time, inner conflict and the deeply contrasting states of the human soul.

Join us for an unforgettable evening where past and present converge through the power of live music.
