Virtuoso Sound Bridges in Schloss Burgfarrnbach
When Yilin Han and Piotr Motyka perform their program East and West at Schloss Burgfarrnbach on November 14, 2026, musical precision meets exciting sound colors. The accordion takes center stage in an evening that brings together classics, contemporary works, and interpretative excellence. The duo was awarded the Folkwang Prize in the music category in 2025.

Between Mozart, Ligeti, and Ravel
The program includes arrangements of works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and György Ligeti, complemented by contemporary original compositions as well as Maurice Ravel's La Valse. This mixture promises a concert experience that sheds new light on the expressiveness of the accordion: transparent in detail, gripping in dynamics, and full of fine synchronizations between the two players. The event announcement highlights the duo as virtuosic and places the accordion at the center as the instrument of the year 2026.

A Historical Setting with Fine Acoustics
Schloss Burgfarrnbach is one of the most significant neoclassical buildings in Fürth and is also used as a venue for soirées. The historical setting, the expansive landscape garden, and the representative character of the castle create an atmosphere where chamber music has a particularly immediate effect. The address is Schloßhof 12, 90768 Fürth. According to Fürth Tourism, travel is possible by bus or train towards Burgfarrnbach.

Live Atmosphere with Depth
Yilin Han is documented as an accordionist, and Piotr Motyka is also recognized as an accordionist; both perform together as an award-winning duo. This creates a rare tension for the audience: two instruments, a breathing sound body, large formal arcs, and finely shaded articulation. This is where the duo reveals its charm - in the combination of technical control, musical narrative power, and immediate audience mood.
