Virtuoso Chamber Music in the Town Hall's Festive Hall of Landshut

On October 25, 2026, the concert association Friends of Music e.V. Landshut invites you to a high-profile duo evening in the historic Town Hall's festive hall. Violinist Mikhail Pochekin and pianist Michail Lifits will present a concert that connects three significant works of violin literature: Franz Schubert's Sonata for Violin and Piano in A Major D 574, Francis Poulenc's Sonata for Violin and Piano FP 119, and Ludwig van Beethoven's famous Kreutzer Sonata.

Schubert: Elegance, Warmth and Musical Dialogue

Franz Schubert's Sonata in A Major opens the evening with melodic expansiveness and chamber music lightness. The violin and piano meet not as solo instrument and accompaniment, but as equal voices. In the finely tuned synchronization of the two performers, a transparent sound emerges that makes Schubert's lyrical arcs and rhythmic agility immediately palpable.

Poulenc: French Timbres with Modern Tension

Francis Poulenc's Sonata for Violin and Piano leads into a different sound world. Between angular gestures, expressive lines, and surprising harmonic turns develops an intense stage performance without major external effects. The music lives from contrasts: sharply contoured rhythms meet contemplative passages, while the interplay of violin and piano creates a special emotional density.

Beethoven: The Kreutzer Sonata as the Climax

With Ludwig van Beethoven's Sonata No. 9 in A Major op. 47, the famous Kreutzer Sonata, the duo evening reaches its dramatic climax. The work demands the highest technical precision, powerful articulation, and a sensitive grasp of the grand musical architecture. Virtuoso runs, dynamic contrasts, and passionate dialogues make this composition one of the most challenging stations in the classical violin repertoire.

A Magnificent Concert Venue with Special Acoustics

The Town Hall's festive hall on the first floor of the Landshut Town Hall is one of the most representative concert venues in the city. The historic circular painting of the Landshut Wedding and the richly carved wooden ceiling from the 19th century give the hall a festive atmosphere. Approximately 445 seats, a central stage, and a high-quality Steinway grand piano create a setting where every nuance of chamber music remains audible.

Experience and Musical Proximity

Friends of Music e.V. Landshut have been organizing classical concerts for decades and are committed to a vibrant chamber music tradition. Mikhail Pochekin is also the artistic director of the Landshut Chamber Music Festival. Together with Michail Lifits, he promises a concert evening that combines technical sovereignty, stylistic clarity, and immediate closeness to the audience.

Conclusion: Visitors can expect a concentrated and emotional duo evening with three stylistically distinctive works by Schubert, Poulenc, and Beethoven. Anyone who wishes to experience violin and piano in their most intense chamber music form should enjoy this concert live in the historic Town Hall's festive hall.
