Jan Michiels & Inge Spinette
Quasi una Fantasia,
Hungarian composer György Kurtág is 100 this year. For Jan Michiels and Inge Spinette, who perform together as the piano duo Yin-Yang, he’s one of the most original and fascinating composers of our time, if only for his ability to express so much with so few notes.
For this special-birthday year, the duo has put together the programme Quasi una Fantasia, structured around Schubert’s Fantasy in F Minor for piano four hands. Michiels and Spinette will weave a garland of piano pieces around this masterwork, principally with music by Kurtág, and with guest appearances from Johann Sebastian Bach and Béla Bartók as well. It’ll be a refined tribute to the great master of the small gesture!

Performers
Inge Spinette and Jan Michiels have formed a piano duo since 1988 and have gradually built up a repertoire ranging from Mozart’s sonatas to the latest contemporary works. Together, as the Yin-Yang Piano Duo, they present gems for a ‘miniature orchestra’ of four hands on one or two keyboards. The duo has already recorded works by a wide range of composers, including the CD *Quasi una Fantasia*, which centres on works by Schubert, Kurtág and Bach.
