Piano duo Isabelle van Dooren & Henning Schmidt
Since 2018 this refreshing piano duo has existed since 2018 and we are looking for exciting programs. For example, we combine a beautiful quatre-mains repertoire with dance. In particular we focus on music from the 20th and 21st century.
We regularly give concerts in Germany and in the Netherlands.
