Gerwig & González

Pianoduo “Gerwig & González” Christine Gerwig and Efraín González 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 Kontarsky’s mentorship, the duo embarked on a journey toward a greater musical understanding through the performance of pianoduo literature. In conjunction to their piano solo master’s studies at the Mozarteum University with Alfons Kontarsky, and later on with Rolf Plagge, Gerwig & González also specialized in pianoduo literature. Yaara Tal & Andreas Grothuysen also gave them significantly new ideas for their artistic enrollment. In 2008, the Gerwig & González Duo won the 9th International “Concours Grieg” pianoduo competition in Oslo, Norway, and was awarded the special prize for the best interpretation of Edvard Grieg’s work and their contemporary work .
