Johannes Brahms' piano music for four hands is truly multifaceted. Despite its chamber style, it can be spiritually uplifting, dramatic, sarcastic and movingly intimate, while remaining remarkably simple and comprehensible.

At the concert of Elena Chesnokova and Olga Podvigina, which will take place in the ancient Portuguese club Fenianos Portuenses on 19 October, one can explore the full range of feelings and emotions of Brahms' music and learn a lot of new things, including about oneself.

Olga Podvigina is a laureate of international competitions in solo and chamber ensemble. Since 2021 she has been living and working in Porto.
Elena Chesnokova has performed in various ensembles in Russia, Austria, Portugal, Finland, Sweden and Germany. Laureate of international competitions. She has been living in Porto for more than two years.
