Yang Yang Cai & Otilka Kwartet
Νοσταλγική, underground βραδιά chamber music
Pianist Yang Yang Cai and the Otilka Quartet perform two masterpieces at De Duif during the Grachtenfestival. The program features an intimate chamber music arrangement of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23, emphasizing the dialogue between the soloist and the ensemble. This is paired with Brahms' powerful and symphonically scaled Piano Quintet, where all five musicians play an equal role. The Otilka String Quartet, recipients of the 2026 Kersjes Prize, are known for their musical friendship and responsive playing. Yang Yang Cai, a former nominee for the Grachtenfestival Prize, joins them for this performance in the former church setting of De Duif, where the acoustics enhance the chamber music experience.
