Would you like to experience the Mozart effect for yourself? You know, that fascinating fact that Mozart's music puts you in a good mood and may even improve brain function. Keyboard wizard Lucas Debargue brings Mozart's Piano Concerto in E-flat major to Kronberg – an intimate dialogue between piano and orchestra. Dmitri Shostakovich's Jazz Suite with Andrei Pushkarev on percussion creates a completely different vibe – rhythmic jazz that conveys emotions more intensely than almost any other musical style.
