Danish pianist Nicolai Kornerup joins the Nordic ensemble LiveStrings in a trio format for a musical journey that blends lively energy with deep tenderness. Kornerup's Nordic compositions, marked by melancholy and longing, meet the wild, passionate tradition of Eastern European music, inviting both the joy of dance and the release of tears.
Kornerup has released three albums under his own name and has two new ones coming out in 2025. He has also performed worldwide with his orchestra Mames Babegenush, including at Carnegie Hall. LiveStrings, founded in 2011 by cellist Live Johansson, has ten permanent members, all trained at the Royal Danish Academy of Music, and aims to bring classical music to a wider audience. Their upcoming performances also include a Christmas concert with Andrea Pellegrini at Garnisonskirke in Copenhagen on 3 December.
