Ivana Alkovic & Maarten den Hengst

'“Four hands on one piano,
a spectacle of intersecting lines and dynamics!”
​
“The two musicians play with engaging freshness, rich in nuances and with much love for small, picturesque details. These are interpretations that show a mature musicality and great intensity, full of excitement and imagination captivating the listener from the first to the last note.''

UPCOMING ALBUM RELEASE…
​stay tuned!

​A new program was gradually developed. While 'Magical Garden' focused on the work of French composers, this time Pianoduo Amacord is recording an album with works written in the Theme & Variation form by great (and less well-known) Viennese composers from the First Viennese School. Vienna is not only the city where the Variation Form reached its peak, it is also the city where pianists Ivana Alkovic and Maarten den Hengst met during their studies and Pianoduo Amacord was founded.​
