The twin sisters Kanon and Kotone Yokoyama, born in 1998 in Kyoto, are the "Rising Stars". They won, among other accolades, the first prize at the "Roma International Piano Competition" in 2023 as a four-handed piano duo and as a duo at two pianos.

They study at the Stuttgart Conservatory under Professor Hans-Peter Stenzl. He is considered an internationally renowned interpreter in piano duo playing. The program is dedicated to the Classical and Romantic eras and begins with the Fantasy in F minor by Franz Schubert, which is one of Schubert's most important piano compositions. This is followed by a four-handed version of the "Kinderszenen" by Robert Schumann.

With Johann Wilhelm Wilms, a lesser-known composer of the Classical era, his Sonata in C major for four hands concludes the program, which the sisters presented in March 2023 as part of a baptism concert at Wilms' baptismal church in Witzhelden. Wilms composed, among other works, seven symphonies, five piano concertos, as well as vocal and chamber music.

Admission: 7:00 PM
