Pianoduo âGerwig & GonzĂĄlezâ Christine Gerwig and EfraĂn GonzĂĄlez Ruano met each other at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg, Coming from different cultural backgrounds (Germany and Mexico), the two soloists very quickly realised an extraodinary symbiosis. Under their professor Alfons Kontarskyâs mentorship, the duo embarked on a journey toward a greater musical understanding through the performance of pianoduo literature. In conjunction to their piano solo masterâs studies at the Mozarteum University with Alfons Kontarsky, and later on with Rolf Plagge, Gerwig & GonzĂĄlez also specialized in pianoduo literature. Yaara Tal & Andreas Grothuysen also gave them significantly new ideas for their artistic enrollment. In 2008, the Gerwig & GonzĂĄlez Duo won the 9th International âConcours Griegâ pianoduo competition in Oslo, Norway, and was awarded the special prize for the best interpretation of Edvard Griegâs work and their contemporary work .
