Abstract
The International Year of Astronomy 2009 saw the birth of a remarkable
arts and science collaboration, between a piano duo and an astronomer.
Since 2009, the Dutch Grieg Piano Duo, consisting of the professional
pianists Elles van der Heiden and Siebert Nix, and the author have
performed together in their project Keys to the Stars. The astronomer
accompanies the fourhand piano music played by the Duo with an
astronomical video, projected onto a large screen behind the grand
piano. The trio has performed compositions by the Estonian composer
Urmas Sisask (born in 1960) and Franz Schubert (1797-1828) in several
concert halls in the Netherlands during 2009 and 2010 with great
success.
