Rehearsals and filming to begin in September:

Full-on prep has begun, as the team prepares for concert rehearsals and filming in Europe in early September.  The project (and the life of Artur Schnabel) will take us from Lake Como in Italy to the Swiss Alps (where Schnabel was inspired to compose some of his greatest works in Sils Maria) to Berlin. We are pleased also to announce that award-winning cinematographer Michael Marius Pessah has joined the team.  Artur Schnabel: No Place of Exile is the first comprehensive multimedia exploration of one of the twentieth century’s greatest musicians.  It includes commemorative concerts in Berlin and Vienna, a multimedia art installation, and a documentary film.
