Kettner Concerts presents: "Immortal Mozart"
About the Event
A chance to explore the joy and virtuosity of three iconic piano concertos by Mozart performed by the sparkling string quartet ensemble from the London Mozart Players and the celebrated young pianist Cristian Sandrin.
Mozart’s endlessly imaginative powers and the magic of interweaving lyricism with drama and virtuosity make his piano concertos an unforgettable musical journey.
Cristian Sandrin, praised by critics for his ‘wonderful precision and clarity’, joins forces with the London Mozart Players to bring to life these three iconic piano concertos. It is a rare chance to hear them performed ‘a quattro’ in a piano quintet arrangement by Mozart with two new arrangements by Sandrin.

Cristian Sandrin
I was born in Bucharest into a family of musicians so I have been immersed in classical music all my life. My father was the distinguished pianist and professor Sandu Sandrin. Our home was always buzzing with his musician friends.
From an early age he took me to concerts at the famous Romanian Atheneum concert hall and I studied the piano at the Dinu Lipatti college, but I was never pressured to follow in my father’s footsteps. It was only when I heard Christian Zacharias and the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra performing the Mozart concerti at the Atheneum when I was twelve that I was inspired to contemplate life as a professional musician. Sixteen years later I had my own debut at the Bucharest Atheneum in 2021 Performin Mozart’s K503 Piano Concerto in C major with the George Enescu Philharmonic.
The works of Mozart remain a passion towards I am continuosly drawn. Last ye
