Duet on the Piano
Two artists on a single piano offer us a new journey and an original concept of the idea of living, the time of a concert, a musical progression during which one hand is added to the other.
Under the sign of travel and the imagination of the tales of the Arabian Nights, this concert invites us to explore musical universes as rich as they are contrasting. Pianists Maxime Zecchini, specialist in the left-hand repertoire, great traveler and explorer of the piano in all its forms, and David Bismuth, renowned for the finesse of his touch and his affinity with Debussy and Ravel, combine their talents here.
