Jan Michiels & Inge Spinette

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!
