Chopin and Debussy in the Johannissaal: When piano sounds turn into dance
On Friday, October 30, 2026, Chopin & Debussy - Piano & Ballet combines live piano music with the expressiveness of classical ballet. In the historic Johannissaal of Nymphenburg Palace, poetic movements, romantic sound colors, and an intimate concert atmosphere come together.
Romance meets French sound poetry
The music of Frédéric Chopin and Claude Debussy unfolds a special tension between piano and dance. Chopin's lyrical melodies and virtuosic piano language meet Debussy's impressionistic sound colors, whose fine harmonies glide across the stage like reflections of light. The program is aimed at classical music lovers as well as families and young visitors from four years old who wish to experience music and ballet directly.
Live piano and poetic dance
Pianist Kseniia Shor and ballerina Tatiana Gribov shape the evening as a interplay of orchestration, movement, and precise synchronization. Changing costumes and vibrant stage designs expand the musical space, while the direction of movement emerges from the performers themselves. The concert grand provides the rhythmic pulse, which classical dance translates into body, gestures, and stage performance.
Tatiana Gribov: Stage experience from the Bolshoi Theater
Tatiana Gribov passed the entrance examination for the world-famous Bolshoi Theater during her studies and performed on stage there for ten years in significant ballet and opera productions.
