QUEENZ OF PIANO: Piano concert combines classical and pop in Toblach!

On January 3, 2026, the exciting project “QUEENZ OF PIANO” will start at the Dobbiaco Cultural Center, presented by the talented pianists Jennifer Rüth and Pauline Gropp. This event, starting at 6:00 p.m., marks the start of the “Piano Cosmos” release tour, which aims to make piano music accessible and engaging to a wide audience. The event will offer both classical fans and pop lovers an unforgettable musical experience by combining classical compositions with modern cloudowns. [Dolomitenstadt] reports that the pianists will present well-known works from Bach to Daft Punk in a new, atmospheric sound, including Beethoven's “Für Elise” and Hans Zimmer's impressive theme from “Interstellar”.

The “QUEENZ OF PIANO” program is characterized by an exciting combination of classic piano sounds and energetic beats. The pianists combine serious music with popular music and high culture with pop culture, as [Theaterhaus] also explains. This is intended to free the classic pieces from their traditional context and make them appealing to younger and broader target groups. The creative performance is also complemented by specially designed grand pianos, synthesizers, lighting and costume art, creating a visually engaging experience.

A modern concept for classical music

The upcoming tour will allow the artists to present their vision of classical music in new contexts. In addition to the well-known classical pieces, the duo also offers their own compositions that demonstrate their diverse musical spectrum. According to [Theaterhaus], a new album by QUEENZ OF PIANO will be released by EDEL KULTUR in May 2025 and will be accompanied by an extensive tour of over 40 cities.

The QUEENZ OF PIANO have already attracted significant attention through their international performances, for example in the impressive settings of the Dubai desert and the black beaches of Iceland. Their goal is to dust off classical music and also bring it to a younger audience, which is evident through their innovative approach.

For anyone interested, further information and tickets for the event at the Dobbiaco Cultural Center are available on the relevant website.

In addition to the activities in Dobbiaco, numerous other events will take place in the region on December 23, 2025, including a Christmas concert with the children's choir of the State Opera and a concert by the Bremen Philharmonic starting at 10:00 a.m. Other program items are also planned, such as the performance of “Hansel and Gretel” and “Snow White”, which will also attract large audiences in the classical music and theater society [Concerti].

The diversity and creative reinterpretation in the field of classical music shows once again how lively and adaptable this genre is. The QUEENZ OF PIANO are an impressive representative of this development and set new accents to make music tangible for everyone.
