Bentlage Monastery for the Castles and Burgs Day

Surrounded by summery nature at the Kloster Bentlage cultural centre, the second concert of the Palaces and Castles Day will take place in the festival hall (part 1 at 11 a.m. in the Falkenhof). Pianist Gavin Liang May will be performing well-known 19th century composers such as G. F. Händel, D. Scarlatti and W. A. Mozart on the historic Knake grand piano. May studied piano at the Cologne University of Music and Dance and graduated with honours. In addition to his work as a soloist, he also devotes himself intensively to song composition and chamber music collaboration. He has won prizes at several international piano competitions and has performed in various European countries and in China. He is currently continuing his artistic training in the concert exam at the Münster University of Music with Prof Peter von Wienhardt.
