A musical evening in Piano Salon Christopher

On 6 February 2023, nearly 40 WiB members came to the musical evenning at the Christophori Piano Salon organized by the Unknown Berlin and Entertainment-Music groups. The salon was once a streetcar depot in Wedding where historical fortepianos are restored. Now it is a trendy venue to host concerts in the evenings in the cozy atmosphere of a traditional French salon. Before the concert, the WiB members enjoyed the snacks at the unique Café Pförtner, inside a surprisingly comfortable scrapped bus next to the salon.

Cellist Zvi Plesser and pianist Miri Yampolski gave a riveting performance of the works of Shostakovich, Schumann, Grieg and Chopin as an encore. After the concert, the founder of the Piano Salon, Christoph Schreiber, spoke about the origins of the salon and showed some of the restored historical fortepianos.
