Roland Härdtner and Boris Ritter are currently rehearsing a new programme with the title „Piano Mallets“. This new concert programme will be characterised by a wide stylistic range, highest requirements of the playing techniques and a „blind“ musical understanding for each other, where every duo partner has to play as a soloist or backing musician.
The premiere as well as a corresponding CD presentation concert are planned at the moment for autumn 2012.

03.11.2011   New second pianist

The swinging mallets trio with Boris Ritter playing the piano, is the usual backing band for Roland Härdtner. Now Professor Harald Lierhammer joins the trio as an alternative piano player.
In the past, it had been often very difficult to find a replacement for Ritter -the extraordinary pianist and arrangeur from numerous of Härdtner's mallets productions – when there were overlapping dates. Now Roland Härdtner found Professor Harald Lierhammer, a real cross-over specialist, for his mallets concerts. He is professor for classical piano music at the „Musikhochschule Stuttgart“, also he has worked for many years as the first keyboarder in a lot of musical productions at the SI-Centrum Stuttgart.
In the next eight days Harald Lierhammer plays besides his introductory training at three premieres with different programmes as the Swinging Mallets Trio's pianist. Good luck !
