The Altmark Festspiele is a music festival that has been held since 2014 in the northern part of the German state of Saxony-Anhalt, in the Altmark region. Its artistic director is the distinguished conductor Reinhard Seehafer. We are honored to open this year's edition of this renowned festival.
The opening concert will take place on 24 May 2025 at 7:00 PM in the Alstom factory building in Stendal, Germany. Under the baton of Reinhard Seehafer, we will play Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 in B minor and famous film hits by John Williams, Ennio Morricone and Hans Zimmer. The piano part will be played by the young American pianist Curtis Phill Hsu, born in 2004 in Alabama. Curtis has achieved significant success in international piano competitions.
