Anton Gerzenberg

 

Born in 1991 and 1996 in Hamburg, the brothers Daniel and Anton Gerzenberg got their first piano lessons at the age of five by their mother, Lilya Zilberstein, and later on by Julia Suslin. From 2006 onwards, they took lessons by Julia Botchkovskaia. In 2008, Daniel and Anton decided to perform as a piano duo. Soon after they won the national competition “Jugend Musiziert” in 2009. The Duo Gerzenberg made its international debut at Progetto Martha Argerich (2009), played concerts in Italy and appeared at the festivals in Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern in Germany. In 2010 they gave their orchestral debut on a tour with the Taipei Symphony Orchestra. As a special prize winner of the NDR, the brothers made a recording of Schubert’s Fantasie in F minor. They are also heard on the CD Martha Argerich and Friends (EMI 2009) playing pieces by Rachmaninoff written for 6 hands with their mother. Since 2010 Daniel is a student at the Conservatory of Music and Theatre in Hamburg in the class of Prof. Marian Migdal. Since 2011 Anton is a young student at the Andreas-Franke-Academy in Hamburg.
