THE New Year mood is characterised by magic, anticipation, romance and harmony. All of this is brought to life by the fairytale sounds of Tchaikovsky ("The Nutcracker", "The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy"). The "Elegy for the Arctic" by Ludovico Einaudi transports us to the world of winter. New Year's Eve hits such as "Happy New Year" by ABBA, "All I Want for Christmas is You" and "It's Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas" set the mood for the best and brightest.
In her musical performances, Amina Mamedova combines different art forms to create a special atmosphere for a deeper understanding of piano music. Through the use of video sequences with pictures painted by the pianist herself or videos projected parallel to the musical performance, the audience can fully experience the depth and harmony of the music.
Amina Mamedova's cycle of piano concertos in the autumn/winter 2024 season is a magical journey on the piano through time from classical to neoclassical. Live electronics are also used.
