Johann Sebastian Bach Prelude and Fugue for Four Hands

Francis Poulenc Sonata for Two Pianos

Franz Liszt Concerto Pathétique

Probably the most interesting thing about this piano duet concert by renowned Filipino pianists Raul Sunico and Aries Caces would be how these two who came from different schools of music, with different approaches to piano music would be able to perform together. Sunico studied at the Juilliard School in New York, USA while Caces studied in Austria. I guess that the only way for me to find out how this very interesting scenario would go is for me to drop by and watch the concert on July 10, 2011, 8:00 PM at the Philam Life Auditorium.

Pianist Raul Sunico

The programme for the evening will consist of compositions for four hands/two pianos by Bach, Lutosławski, Chopin, Poulenc and Liszt. All of them are familiar composers but I’ve never heard any of the works in the programme so it’s definitely going to be a very interesting evening.

Pianist Aries Caces
