Piano Poetry with International Shine in the New Festival Hall
On Saturday, June 20, 2026, in Bamberg, refined duo culture meets sonic brilliance: Clara and Marie Becker will perform the 5th concert of the series in the new festival hall of the municipal music school. The piano duo from Hamburg brings a repertoire from Baroque to contemporary, complemented by the joy of new works for one and two pianos. The evening begins at 19:00 and is free of charge.
A Unique Cosmos Between Two Wings
When two pianists listen so closely to each other like Clara and Marie Becker, precision becomes an experience. The synchronization of their touches, the finely graduated dynamics, and the transparently guided orchestration make even dense passages feel breathing. Especially in the intimate setting of the festival hall, this live atmosphere unfolds immediately: close, concentrated, and full of tension.
A Duo with European Concert Maturity
The twin sisters studied with Bruno Canino in Florence and received important impulses from Isabelle and Florence Lafitte, the Berlinskaya-Ancelle duo, Lilya Zilberstein, and Andreas Groethuysen. Their career regularly leads them to recitals and concerts with orchestras both domestically and abroad, including Italy, France, Switzerland, the USA, Bulgaria, Israel, and Russia. They also receive invitations to festivals and concert series such as Haus Wahnfried in Bayreuth, Pianoscope in Beauvais, and ClassicheFORME in Lecce.
Repertoire Between Tradition and Present
For Bamberg, a program is announced under the title Constellations, featuring works by Fanny Hensel, Felix Mendelssohn, and J.S. Bach, along with other music. This is exactly where the strength of this duo lies: historical depth, stylistic clarity, and a sense for musical lines that remain connected across epochs. This promises a concert experience where chamber music and virtuosity do not work against each other but fuel each other.
A Festival Hall with Intimate Proximity
The new festival hall of the municipal music school Bamberg offers around 90 seats and was inaugurated in May 2025. The address at St.-Getreu-Strasse 14 is centrally located in Bamberg, and admission is free. This creates a rare mixture for the audience of urban proximity, concentrated acoustics, and the special tension of an evening that makes high artistic quality accessible without ticket barriers.
Voices of the Fans
On the official channels of the artists, the enthusiasm for making music together is clearly visible: On Instagram, Clara and Marie Becker provide insights into rehearsals, travels, and concerts, while their YouTube channel documents live recordings and portraits. The online presence emphasizes how lively and approachable this duo conveys their art.
Conclusion: An Evening for Lovers of Great Chamber Music
Clara and Marie Becker bring a program with depth, elegance, and virtuosic clarity to Bamberg. Those who want to experience the dialogue between two pianos in all its colorfulness should save this date. This concert promises a rare mixture of closeness, sound intelligence, and emotional density.
