An Evening for Great Sound Art in the Chamber Music Hall
When Evgeni Koroliov sits at the piano on Friday, October 9, 2026, in the Chamber Music Hall of the Beethoven House in Bonn, concentrated virtuosity meets the intimate acoustics of a hall built for fine nuances. The piano recital begins at 7:30 PM and presents two musical worlds in a tense relationship: Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven.
Koroliov's Art of Inner Tension
Koroliov has been regarded for decades as a pianist of exceptional intellectual penetration. The Beethoven House describes him as an honorary member of the association and emphasizes how precisely he not only plays works but also makes their structure visible. His career spans from the Moscow Central Music School through the Tchaikovsky Conservatory to Hamburg, where he has lived since 1978 and worked as a professor until 2015. International awards such as winning the Leipzig Bach Competition, the Van Cliburn, and the Grand Prix Clara Haskil mark an artistic path focused on substance rather than effect.

Bach and Beethoven as a Concentrated Live Experience
The program features Bach's Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue in D minor BWV 903, Seven Three-Part Symphonies from BWV 787–801, Six Contrapuncti from The Art of Fugue BWV 1080, as well as Beethoven's Diabelli Variations in C major op. 120. This is not just a selection of works, but a dramatically sharpened dialogue between contrapuntal architecture and Beethoven's inventive power. The Beethoven House points out that Koroliov already performed a celebrated cycle of Beethoven's piano sonatas in the Chamber Music Hall from 2020 to 2022.

The Chamber Music Hall as the Ideal Stage
The Chamber Music Hall in the Beethoven House is located at Bonngasse 24-26, 53111 Bonn. The hall is accessible, air-conditioned, and equipped with modern technology. According to the Beethoven House, it offers a particularly concentrated setting for chamber music and other intimate concert forms. For arrival, the city center location around the Beethoven House is recommended; various parking options are available in the vicinity, and the hall is accessible, but without a disabled toilet.
