When piano and cello breathe, great closeness is created
Włodek Pawlik and Łukasz Pawlik meet here with classical training, jazz experience, and a clear duo aesthetics. The city of Erfurt describes the two as exceptional musicians who have developed their own styles for cello and piano and will present many original compositions and arrangements for the first time in Erfurt. Exactly therein lies the charm of this evening: concentration instead of volume, depth instead of gimmickry.

Grammy winner with international renown
Włodek Pawlik is one of the defining jazz pianists of Poland and won the Grammy Award in 2014 for Night In Calisia. On his official website, he refers to over 30 of his own albums, as well as works for film, theater, orchestra, ballet, and vocal music. This gives the duo an enormous stylistic range: improvisationally free, but compositionally precise. ([grammy.com](https://www.grammy.com/artists/Wlodek-Pawlik/24764?utm_source=openai))
The City Hall as a stage with historical aura
The banquet hall in Erfurt's city hall measures 238 square meters and offers up to 198 seats. Murals, chandeliers, and the historic Steinway grand piano characterize the room; the city of Erfurt particularly highlights the warm, multifaceted sound of the instrument. For a jazz chamber concert, this creates a particularly dense live atmosphere where every nuance remains audible.
