(bright music) - The Bachauer Concert series brings the electrifying Geniusas Duo to the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center.

Here to tell us more is Kary Billings.

Welcome, Kary.

- Hello.

- So tell me more about this performance.

- Yeah, this is a fun, exciting concert as a husband and wife team.

He is a Bachauer Gold medalist, and she's a Cliburn Silver medalist.

So lots of medals between them.

Lots of prizes over the years.

They have great, amazing solo careers, but we're excited to get them together here in Salt Lake.

- Wow.

What a treat for the audience.

What are you hoping that they take away from these performances?

- Well, just how much fun piano music can be.

But two pianos is twice the fun, twice the possibilities, twice the colors.

It's like a small orchestra, so it's a lot of fun.

- Wow, and tell me about just how big of a deal that they're coming to Utah.

- Well, it's amazing to have one medalist from a major competition here.

To have two, the fact they're married, is triple the excitement.

I mean, it's really wonderful that they could make their time and their schedules possible to be here.

- It sounds like it is, like I said in the beginning, an electrifying performance for the audience to enjoy.

What really surprises you about performances like these?

- Well, what's surprising is just how much two pianos can transform the music.

Some of this music was written for orchestra originally or later on, but two pianos can really reproduce all that great sound and the possibilities.

You can really imagine there's an orchestra playing, when there's two people and just two instruments on state, it's a lot of fun.

- What are some of the songs, some of tunes that the performance will feature?

- Sure, yeah, I think there's a couple of highlights for me.

Rachmaninoff is always a great hit and popular.

This is his last piece.

Symphonic Dances, all the harmonies, and color and this excitement of Rachmaninoff.

And then John Adams, Hallelujah Junction is exciting.

The patterns bouncing forth between the two pianists and they play off each other.

It's exciting.

A little dangerous.

'Cause it could go off, off the rails, so to speak, but it's exciting.

- I've never heard it described that way, dangerous, but I think it sounds like such a great time.

Thank you so much for being here.
