| Jan Jiracek von Arnim performing in Qatar |
Von Arnim came to Doha last Wednesday to perform in the Fifty One East store, where he also held a signature session. The following day, the award-winning pianist performed at the Qatar Academy theatre, playing pieces by classical composers such as Beethoven, Chopin and Liszt.
Described by BBC Music Magazine as “one of the leading pianists of his generation”, Jan Jiracek has earned his title by claiming first place at several international competitions,” explained a spokesperson, adding “he was a piano professor at the prestigious School of Music in Vienna, Austria and is frequently invited as a judge at many international piano competitions”.
Last year, he was also selected to be the artistic director of the International Beethaven Piano Competition Vienna. Bosendorfer is one of the world’s oldest piano manufacturers, well known for the quality and sound of its instruments.
The ‘Liszt Anniversary Grand’ is a limited edition model with only 25 pieces produced globally, designed to honour the 200th anniversary of the composer’s birth.
Executive director of Darwish Technology, Ziad Asmar said: “Fifty One East has been defining the benchmark of luxury since 1950 and we are very excited about adding this limited edition piece to our collection of luxurious offering.”
“Fifty One East has an elegant and timeless presence in the Qatar market as we continue to deliver to the market some of the world’s most prestigious elements,” he explained, adding “this represents the first move towards introducing more models from B?sendorfer to the refined music connoisseur in the State of Qatar”.
“We are proud to welcome a world-renowned artist in Qatar like Mr Von Arnim and we have no doubt that with B?sendorfer we will be introducing unrivalled unique pianos that will take our customers to the next level,” added Asmar.
