Berkeley Chamber Performances presents the duet piano ensemble ZOFO in a joyful performance of Sushi-Fondue. Keisuke Nakagoshi and Eva-Maria Zimmermann comprise this "20-fingered orchestra," and Sushi-Fondue is a program of binational compositions representing the performers' respective countries of origin, Switzerland and Japan. This international award-winning ensemble is one of a small group of ensembles worldwide focusing exclusively on piano duets. Their repertoire includes hidden gems of the one-piano-four-hands genre as well as a world premiere. The San Francisco Classical Music Examiner says of ZOFO, "The performance was jaw-dropping awesome ... a full program that left its audience stunned and a bit joyous in the celebration of just what four hands can do on a single keyboard."

Terrifically talented young pianists. Duets on one piano were played beautifully, and it was truly amazing visually as well to see all the cross handed wizardry. Our personal preference was with the more classically sounding, melodic pieces, and not the more modern dissonances, but overall it was an engaging evening by 2 very fantastic pianists who have found their niche.

Amazing pianists. Not only the sounds that they evoke, but also what I call "their dance" playing together on the one piano. Truly astonishing. Have heard them before, this was their most original and contemporary program.

About the Ticket Supplier: Berkeley Chamber Performances

Berkeley Chamber Performances is a nonprofit presenting organization
for chamber music in the East Bay. Founded in 1993, it presents
mostly, but not exclusively, local ensembles and attempts to press the
boundaries of "chamber music" by including in each five-concert
season jazz, ethnic, multi-disciplinary, commissioned or first
performance presentations. Concerts take place Tuesday evenings at 8
p.m. in the historic Berkeley City Club. Following each performance
audience members can attend our Meet-the-Performers reception to
connect with the artists. Berkeley Chamber Performances loves
expanding its audience to those generally not attending chamber music
concerts.
