Classical NOW! looks up with Heaven on Earth

Five nights

Classical N O W Hemel

Where is man in the universe? The festival Heaven on Earth of Classical NOW! looks up five nights, looking for an answer. In the program music about the sun and the moon, about planets, angels and stars, and about the man who seeks his place under and with heaven. Working for two pianos is a common thread in the program. Remarkably often composers use the rich sound of two wings to transcend the earthly.
