Danae and Kiveli Doerken are two child prodigy piano virtuosos who just happen to be sisters. Residing in Germany, they play many concerts and recitals there and elsewhere throughout the world, both individually and together.

It is our joy to present DANAE and KAVILI DOERKEN in Concert at the Seaside Center for Spiritual Living in Encinitas on Monday evening, December 28 at 7:00 PM. There is no admission charge for this event. Your generous donations are gratefully appreciated. All profits support the work of the SHANTIPURI FRIENDS FOUNDATION.

Danae and Kiveli will be playing works of Bach, Beethoven, Chopin and Rachmaninoff during their Concert in Encinitas. Educational introductions will be provided for each piece to enhance understanding and appreciation.
