Keen to present classical music in unconventional ways, Andreas Kern has developed several concert formats that often feature unorthodox venues and collaborations with artists across genres. One of Andreas' most successful concept shows is the PIANO BATTLE, which he co-created with fellow pianist Paul Cibis. Part serious classical recital, part tongue-in-cheek performance by two classy artists, the PIANO BATTLE is a unique concert that pleases both the eye and the ear. Join the fun at www.pianobattle.com. Andreas Kern has created the critically acclaimed “Arte Lounge” for the French-German TV channel Arte. As the show's co-host, he has performed with musicians including Mischa Maisky, Renaud Capucon, Sol Gabetta, Sarah Chang, Vadim Repin, Nils Mönkemeyer, Elina Garanca, and Jörg Widmann. He is also the "architect" of the Piano City Festivals, which brought together classical music enthusiasts in Berlin, Naples, Milan, and Barcelona and featured more than 100 piano performances within one weekend.

"One of my ideas has always been to dip a whole city into piano music. When all the windows would open and piano music could be heard on the streets and reach all people: That would be just wonderful!" www.pianocity.org
