Mayo Performing Arts Center's Next Facebook Live Concert to Feature 'Piano Battle'
MPAC's next Facebook Live concert will take place on Friday, June 5 at 12:30 pm, featuring a special performance with internationally acclaimed pianists Andreas Kern and Paul Cibis -- the duo who perform as "Piano Battle."
The concert can be viewed on MPAC's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MayoPerformingArtsCenter/
The brainchild of Kern and Cibis, the PIANO BATTLE sees the duo go head-to-head on stage, charming and enchanting the audience with a variety of classical pieces. The two artists, with distinctly different performance styles, take turns to perform pieces by composers such as Chopin, Liszt and Debussy. They will even improvise based on the tunes you request.
Piano Battle will come to MPAC on Sunday, April 18, 2021 at 7 pm. Tickets go on sale Friday June 5 at 10 am at MayoArts.Org.
