Roman Lopatynskyi: Clärchen's Sunday concerts in the Mirror Hall

About the Event

Nestled in the bustling heart of Germany's capital, begin an auditory adventure at one of the city's renowned locales. The Hall of Mirrors at Clärchens Ballhaus captivates with its soaring ceilings and gleaming walls, exuding a distinctive patina. Famous for its superb acoustics, it stands as a premier concert destination.

Roman Lopatynskyi is one of the most outstanding pianists of his generation—an artist of extraordinary technical brilliance, musical depth, and stylistic versatility. The Ukrainian pianist, who has received numerous international awards, captivates his audience with a performance that combines precision, poetic sensitivity, and great sonic expressiveness.

His program spans an impressive arc across three centuries of piano music. Johann Sebastian Bach’s Partita No. 6 in E minor, BWV 830, opens the evening with architectural clarity, contrapuntal sophistication, and an emotional depth that extends far beyond the Baroque form.

This is followed by Paul Hindemith’s Suite 1922, a work brimming with rhythmic energy, sharply defined musical language, and ironic allusions to the dance and popular music of the 1920s—at once virtuosic, provocative, and fascinatingly modern.

The highlight of the evening is Robert Schumann’s Symphonic Etudes, Op. 13: a monumental piano cycle that oscillates between intimacy and orchestral richness, between lyrical introspection and eruptive passion. In this masterpiece of Romantic piano art, Roman Lopatynskyi unfolds the full range of his musical expression.
