Pianist Albert Tiu

Albert Tiu returns to the country for this engagement following his performance with the Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra as a late replacement last February. If I’m not mistaken, this will be Marcel Luxen’s first trip to the country. Hailing from Belgium, Luxen is a prize winner at the Masterplayers International Music Competition, Lugano and the Brussels International Clarinet Competition. He has already played at Musikverein, Concertgebouw, Salle Pleyel, Royal Albert Hall, Suntory Hall, Palais des Beaux-Arts, and Avery Fisher Hall. Additionally, he has been featured as soloist with the Belgium Radio Television Orchestra, the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra, Camerata Leodiensis, Euregio Orchester, and the Orchestre de Chambre de Wallonie. He has also worked with renowned conductors and musicians such as Claudio Abbado, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Leonard Bernstein, Daniel Blumenthal, Maurice Bourgue, Antal Dorati, Lorin Maazel, Qin Li-Wei, and Ronald van Spaendonck.

This concert by Albert Tiu and Marcel Luxen will feature both of Johannes Brahms’s Clarinet Sonatas, Op. 120, Robert Schumann’s Fantasiestücke, Op. 73 and Carl Maria von Weber’s Grand Duo Concertant in E flat major, Op. 48.
