Bax & Chung Piano Duo

The real-life marriage of concert pianists Alessio Bax and Lucille Chung, with their abundant artistic chemistry, passion, and stunning virtuosity, has led to one of the most appealing and impressive piano duos of our time. In the words of the UK magazine Music and Arts, “Theirs is a marriage of wondrous colours and dextrous aplomb, subtly balanced to make a musical performance sound as one.”

They are also co-artistic directors of the Joaquín Achúcarro Foundation in Dallas, Texas, created to cultivate the legacy of the Basque pianist and to support young pianists’ careers.

Their performance at VCU on September 14th will feature Ferruccio Busoni’s Duettino Concertante after Mozart, Francis Poulenc’s Concerto in D Minor for Two Pianos, Robert Schumann’s Six Études en forme de canon Op. 56 (arranged for two pianos by Claude Debussy), Claude Debussy’s “Clair de lune” from Suite bergamasque (arranged for two pianos by Henri Dutilleux). and Maurice Ravel’s “La Valse” Poéme chorégraphique pour orchestra (arranged for two pianos by the composer).

Series subscription holders are invited to a pre-concert reception in the lobby and receive free valet-parking.
