The program for the evening is a showcase of technical brilliance and emotional depth, featuring a diverse range of compositions for four hands. The lineup includes Berio's "Wasserklavier," Schubert's "Fantasia in F minor for Four Hands," Ligeti's "Bewegung" from Three Pieces for Two Pianos, Brubeck's "Fugue" from Points on Jazz, an arrangement of Nancarrow's "Study No. 6" by Thomas Adès, John Adams' "Hallelujah Junction," Arvo Pärt's "Hymn to a Great City," and Rachmaninoff's "Symphonic Dances."

This performance is not only a celebration of the piano but also a journey through the landscapes of classical and contemporary music, brought to life by the unparalleled skill of Ólafsson and Wang. Their collaboration promises to be a highlight of the musical season, offering audiences a rare opportunity to experience the works of Dave Brubeck, John Adams, Arvo Pärt, and others in a new light.
