Raphaela Gromes & Julian Riem

About the Event

Ten years ago, cellist Raphaela Gromes and pianist Julian Riem crossed paths at the Richard Strauss Competition in Munich. Since then, they have been performing together as a duo and achieving great success. Now, they are bringing their programme called "Femmes" to Dresden, which was recently released as a recording in February 2023. This program focuses on female composers from different periods of music history.

For their performances at the Sankt Afra State Music High School of Saxony and at the Palais im Großen Garten, Gromes and Riem will specifically highlight compositions from the 19th and 20th centuries.
