The Dördüncü sisters have mesmerized classical music lovers with their “flawless technique, delivering vigorous and evocative performances”. Over the years, the Swiss piano duo has ventured from classical repertory to the contemporary musical landscape, earning equally successful receptions worldwide. Following the great success of their 2006 recording Rendez-Vous Avec l'Enfance, a compilation of piano 4-hands works by French composers, the Dördüncü Piano Duo has further captured positive feedbacks with their new releases on works by Brahms, Prokofiev, Shostakovich and Stephano Gervasoni. 

Featuring works by Ravel, Rachmaninov and Swiss contemporary composer Dieter Ammann, the Hong Kong debut of Ufuk and Bahar Dördüncü will continue to showcase the duo’s impressive originality and never-ending pursuit of the uncommon, unveiling sounds from the late romanticism to the contemporaries with their gripping musical narratives.
