Sara Gutiérrez Redondo en Federico Mosquera Martínez zijn voor ons geen onbekende pianisten. Ze traden bij ons al eerder op in de serie: ‘Laat u verrassen door aanstaande professionals’. Maar het zijn allang geen conservatoriumstudenten meer. We waren er dan ook trots op dit geweldige pianoduo weer te mogen ontvangen! Uiteraard stelden we in onze mooie showroom de mooiste vleugels voor hun op en hebben wij kunnen genieten van adembenemende uitvoeringen van o.a. F. Poulenc, J. Brahms en A. Dvorak.
