**"PLAYING WITH LEGENDS" THE STEINWAY IMMORTALS**

A program in cooperation with Steinway & Sons® - for Spirio, featuring Steinway Artist Maria Radutu

Immortal tones and timeless elegance - a grand piano is a promise: to eternity, to perfect sound beauty, to the magic of the moment. When it comes from the workshop of Steinway & Sons®, this promise is not only audible but also visible - and palpable.

Maria Radutu, a celebrated pianist and Steinway Artist, embarks on a poetically technological venture: in her program "Playing with Legends," she encounters the "Immortals" of piano artistry - Arthur Rubinstein, Gina Bachauer, Dinu Lipatti, George Gershwin, Hazel Scott, Vladimir Horowitz - not in the form of memory, but as real musical companions.

This is made possible by Spirio, Steinway's highly advanced self-playing system, which reproduces the finest nuances of touch with authentic precision. It is not merely playback - it is a mechanical reincarnation. And Radutu takes a special approach: she does not duet with the dead, but allows herself to be accompanied, carried, and inspired. Her own virtuosity remains the center of the evening, while the spirits of the greats gently breathe along.

Works by and with Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Scriabin, Kapustin, Gershwin, and contemporary composer Margareta Ferek-Petrič are on the program. And as a crowning finale: a work by Swedish composer Mikael Karlsson, originally written for five pianos - realized in this form for the first time by just one pianist and a Spirio concert grand.

A concert like a glimpse through an acoustic kaleidoscope: past, present, and future break apart in sparkling sound diversity.
