A piano evening full of risk, brilliance, and electric tension at the Frankfurter Hof

Anton Gerzenberg will bring the series SWR Culture International Pianists in Mainz to the Frankfurter Hof on June 4, 2027.

Between fire, abyss, and control

The program reads like a dramatic score for an evening of maximum inner tension: Scriabin's Sonata No. 6, Ligeti's Études, Liszt's Mephisto Polka, and Brahms’ Paganini Variations meet a repertoire that ranges from romantic virtuosity to modern sound language. This very mixture promises a concert experience where technical precision and expressive power merge closely together.

A pianist with profile and international radiance

Gerzenberg studied among others with Pierre-Laurent Aimard, was shaped by artist personalities such as Robert Levin, Alfred Brendel, and Bella Davidovich, and gained attention with the tour of the complete Ligeti Études cycle. He has gathered experience on major stages like the Konzerthaus Berlin, the Musikverein Vienna, or the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, which is reflected in a mature stage performance.
