Christina Kobb lecture/demonstration - The Piano in Early 19th Century Vienna
Advance ticket sales for this event have ended. However, we will sell tickets at the door and accept cash, check and credit card.
Head of Theory at Barratt Due Institute of Music (BDM) in Oslo, Christina Kobb has recently skyrocketed to international attention due to her groundbreaking research into the little explored field of romantic period performance practice. Equally lauded in academia and performance, Kobb's spent years dedicated to incredibly detailed study of romantic keyboard treatises, reconstructing historical piano technique. Her discoveries resulted in an array of new possibilities for interpretation and musical expression that took musicologists by storm. (See the recent feature article about her work in The New York Times.)

Christina has appeared at various occasions in Norway, England, The Netherlands and the U.S. with solo recitals and chamber music concerts. In 2006, she won the accompanist prize of 'The John Kerr Award for English song' at Finchcocks Musical Museum in Kent, England, and in 2008 she received the 'Muzio Clementi Award'. In 2007, she was awarded the coveted TICON scholarship. Over the last years, Christina has presented her research at several international conferences and also developed a style of more informal lecture recitals aimed at the general, music loving audience.
