These two local ensembles join forces to present one of the great masterpieces of the 19th century choral literature: the powerful and moving Brahms Requiem. Normally heard with orchestra, it will be presented in a two-piano reduction of the orchestral score. The expanded duet version - Brahms' own - reinforces the symphonic quality of the music. Don't miss the opportunity to hear this magnificent work performed in Langley.
The Bergmann Piano Duo described as artists who present “razzle-dazzle” and “electrifylingly rendered” recitals (The Vancouver Sun) have touched and inspired audiences with their uniquely eclectic programmes for more than two decades.
“Always adventurous, the married couple combines virtuosic dedication with the instincts of professional entertainers who love their music”-

In a recent performance at the Salkind Duo Piano Festival, the Bergmann Duo “opened with a lush reading of the Ravel reductions of Nuages and Fetes from the orchestral Nocturnes by Debussy.
