Documented collaborators

The Gershwin Piano Quartet is a distinguished Swiss-based ensemble celebrated for its inventive four-piano arrangements of Gershwin’s timeless tunes. Founded in 1996 in Switzerland by André Desponds, the quartet has evolved into a refined collective featuring Desponds, Stefan Wirth, Benjamin Engeli (since 2007), and Mischa Cheung (since 2007). Their performances blend fidelity to original Gershwin idiom with accessible improvisation, expanding into four-piano versions of works by other composers. Whether you’re a long-time admirer or a curious newcomer, secure your seats to experience their dynamic, accessible approach to classical repertoire.
