Join us for an intimate evening of classical gems, performed by two of Austria’s most exciting young talents: cellist Jeremias Fliedl and pianist Kiron Atom Tellian. 

About the Concert

It doesn’t take more than a cello and a piano to capture the soul of classical music. In this rare duo recital, Jeremias Fliedl and Kiron Atom Tellian invite the audience on a journey through four centuries of sound—from the quiet elegance of Bach’s Arioso to the intensity of Rachmaninoff’s masterful Cello Sonata. The concert begins with Bach’s poignant cantata melody, followed by Schubert’s Arpeggione Sonata—a lyrical and tender dialogue between two instruments. Arvo Pärt’s Spiegel im Spiegel offers a moment of stillness and introspection, before the evening culminates in the sweeping Romanticism of Rachmaninoff. A celebration of deep musical connection, this program is more than a performance—it’s an invitation to feel: excitement, silence, resonance, and movement.
