Opening of the Piano Cycle
Premiere of CHOPIN PLUS

Chamber Music Hall of the Berlin Philharmonie
With the new series CHOPIN PLUS, Pietro Massa launched a concert cycle that places Frédéric Chopin’s piano works in a dynamic dialogue with the musical ideas of other composers.
At the heart of the series is Chopin – serving as a point of reference for ever-changing musical perspectives. The result is a sequence of exceptional programs that make audible the interwoven musical networks across centuries, offering both sensuous insights and compelling aesthetic contrasts.
The premiere on May 4, 2025, brought together two cornerstones of the European piano repertoire:
Johann Sebastian Bach – Goldberg Variations, BWV 988
Frédéric Chopin – 24 Préludes, op. 28
