The Piano Germany

At the center of “The Piano” are undiscovered talents from all over Germany who have one thing in common: Their very special story about Germany's most popular instrument, the piano. In a total of six episodes, the pianists demonstrate their skills in public spaces in four major German cities. The talents have no idea that two very special experts are watching and listening attentively to them in a hidden location: German singer Mark Forster and internationally renowned pianist Igor Levit. Behind the scenes, they comment on all the pianists' performances. The range is wide: from classical to pop, from four-handed to vocal accompaniment. Mark Forster and Igor Levit are also organizing a big final concert in which a pianist from each city will join them on stage. The new primetime format will be hosted by Annika Lau.
