Electrifying South Surrey-based piano duo Marcel and Elizabeth Bergmann will venture into the more theatrical side of the classical repertoire tonight (Friday) at 7:30 p.m. in the season finale of the Rose Gellert Concert Hall series at Langley Community Music School.

Joining them for dynamic two-piano and percussion arrangements of Mussorgsky’s visionary Pictures from an Exhibition, Gershwin’s evocative, jazz-influenced An American in Paris (1928) and a suite from Bernstein’s dramatic West Side Story score (1957) will be two Vancouver Symphony Orchestra stalwarts: principal percussionist Vern Griffiths and principal tympanist Aaron MacDonald.
