Brits-Kreiling Piano Duo

In 2005 I met Janneke Brits at a music festival in Switzerland. Six years later we were married and we have been performing together ever since. It certainly takes a special relationship to perform 4 hands repertoire, especially on one piano where you are constantly in each others way. There is a real art to performing repertoire for piano four hands and for two pianos. Over the years we have performed most of the repertoire, specialising in transcriptions of early twentieth-century orchestral works.

We have recently begun making our own transcriptions, most notably Stravinsky’s 'The Firebird’ for two pianos. We are currently working on a four hands one piano transcription of Scriabin’s ‘Poem of Ecstasy’.
