1994 was the year in which the congenial artistic friendship between Alexei Aigui and Dietmar Bonnen began: they played their first concert together in Moscow. In the following years, they played as guests in each other’s ensembles and were both part of the Russian-German Composers Quartet (with Manfred Niehaus and Ivan Sokolov).

Increasingly, they developed their musical language as a duo: they interpreted early music, Kurt Weill, Hendrix and Zappa, Aigui and Bonnen.

At this year’s Panda concert, with which they are celebrating the 30th anniversary of their duo, they will be presenting their compositions as well as surprising interpretations of film music gems alongside the now well-known highlights of their programs.

Featuring: Alexei Aigui — violin, Dietmar Bonnen — piano, voice
