With a performance of Brahms’ First Piano Concerto at the 2016 Kissinger Sommer Festival in Bad Kissingen, Germany, Hélène Grimaud marks the beginning of a new tour featuring nine performances in nine cities on three continents. For this tour, Hélène joins musical forces with the Australian Youth Orchestra and conductor Manfred Honeck.
