Konzertverein Chur: Simon Zhu and Lovre Marušić

Both instruments, without competing with each other, are rather complementary to each other, because their performance is almost opposite. The piano, with its full stream of harmonies in all its movements and nuances, complements the violin, which, like no other instrument, stands for spiritual expression through melting singing, sensually beautiful, lush and colourful tone.
