Svapinga Consort

Unfortunately, Christine Schornsheim has had to withdraw from the upcoming concert due to illness. We are very grateful to the brilliant keyboardist  for stepping in at the last minute! Equally at home as a soloist, collaborator, and composer, Charles Berofsky seeks to engage audiences through a myriad of styles and genres of music. The American pianist grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and studied in Boston and Rochester, New York.
Last year, Charles released his debut album with his father, violinist Aaron Berofsky. The album features four of Mozart’s violin sonatas performed on period instruments. He has performed on harpsichord and fortepiano in Munich and Bad Krozingen in Germany, as well as in Orford, Quebec, and at Cornell University and the Oberlin Conservatory in the USA.
As a contemporary pianist, he has been a prizewinner at various piano competitions, including the Concurso Internacional de Piano de Campillos (1st prize), the New York International Piano Competition (3rd prize), and the Thousand Islands International Piano Competition (1st prize).
Prof. Christine Schornsheim (harpsichord, fortepiano) and Prof. Antti Siirala (modern piano) are among his most influential teachers at the University of Music and Performing Arts, Munich 📸 P. Smith

Happy New Year!
