Full Price: € 30,00 + payment fees

Parco Teresio Olivelli

Saturday July 15th, 2023 at 09:00 PM

A delightfully diverse program, alternating and blending the piano with the brass, in a wide-ranging excursion going all the way from Western Europe to Russia, to finally reach the American continent. It ends with the music of George Gershwin who, as an American of Russian descent, forms its natural landing place.
