Erik Maier and Paul Suttner, both students at HMTM, will also perform a diverse selection of solo and duet pieces from various eras. Expect to hear works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Eugène Ysaÿe, Mark Glentworth, and original compositions by Paul Suttner, alongside duets by Siegfried Matthus, Darius Milhaud, and Astor Piazzolla.

This unique performance will feature an unusual instrumental combination of violin, marimba, vibraphone, drum set, and various percussion instruments, ensuring an exciting evening full of contrasts and musical surprises.
