The Bergmann Piano Duo presentst Gustav Holst’s sonic, celestial masterpiece, The Planets – one of classical music’s most exciting and beloved works – performing Holst’s own two piano version, accompanied by some beautiful visual imagery.
Holst’s The Planets is colourful, emotional, and full of movement exactly what you’d expect from a trip through the galaxies and beyond. Written between 1914-1916, The Planets represents all the known planets (except Earth) and their corresponding astrological characters.
The Bergmann Piano Duo’s dynamic and energetic performances of eclectic programmes, including their own compositions, have inspired audiences internationally. Their recitals and concerts with orchestra have taken them to many parts of the world, including the United States, Italy, Germany, The Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, France, Macedonia, Greece, China and Canada. The duo has appeared at international festivals including Festival of the Sound, Ottawa, International Chamber Music Festival, Vancouver, Opera Festival, San Francisco, International Music Festival, MusicFest Vancouver, International Organ Festival and Competition, and EXPO 2000, Hannover.
They are both Artistic Directors of White Rock Concerts and Elizabeth is Artistic Director of Concerts at the Langley Community Music School. Marcel held a position as Professor of Music at Mohawk College in Hamilton and both Elizabeth and Marcel have been on faculty at Mount Royal University and University of Calgary as well as being involved in various musical projects at The Banff Centre for the Arts.
