Helene Grimaud - H�l�ne Grimaud � Woodlands and Beyond �

Together with photographer Mat Hennek, French star-pianist H�l�ne Grimaud, comes up with a multimedia concert project at the Grand Hall of Hamburg�s Elbphilharmonie. Grimaud�s virtuous piano performance is accompanied by Hennek�s highly praised photo series 'Woodlands', which depicts genuine portraits of trees. Grimaud�s piano recital includes works by romantic and impressionistic composers. They are connected by seven 'Transitions', written exclusively for Grimaud by British composer and DJ Nitin Sawhney. The motives of Hennek�s Woodlands series create an extraordinary visual backdrop, which in combination with Grimaud�s pianistic 'impeccable clarity and articulation' (Hamburger Abendblatt) and the Elbphilharmonie�s splendid acoustics grants a concert experience of a special kind.
