The Gershwin Piano Quartet is a formation of four pianists performing their own arrangements of classics from numerous musical traditions on four grand pianos. Their musical approach combines classical virtuosity with a jazz-based improvisatory idiom. The concerts of the Gershwin Piano Quartet run the whole gamut from lyrical introspection to irresistibly pulse-driven music and have been met with thunderous acclaim around the world. The central focus of the group lies in creating very personal visions of the selected pieces that exceed the limits of pure transcription to include recomposition, improvisation and remixing techniques. The Quartet has performed in numerous venues around the world such as the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival (Germany), the Piano Festival Ruhr (Germany), the KKL Lucern (Switzerland), the Tonhalle Zürich (Switzerland), the National Palace of Culture Sofia (Bulgaria), the NCPA Beijing (China) and the Sala Sao Paolo (Brazil) amongst others.
