Historically, piano and guitar rarely meet. Indeed, some argue that the reunion of these two highly harmonic instruments creates a difficult alchemy. And yet, it’s an alchemy that works – think of the magnificent duo made up of Jim Hall and Bill Evans (Undercurrent) – the harmonic resonances, multiplied, reaching the very sources of musical inspiration. With their customary musical audacity and acuity, the two musicians will take on the challenge unflinchingly.
Nelson Veras – guitar
Pierre de Bethmann – piano

This concert will take us to the 14th and 16th centuries and to present times. Erudite Italian humanist poet Petrarch’s often-imitated text from 1354 explores the delicious torments of his unconditional and platonic love for Laure de Sade. ‘I Trionfi’ is an allegorical poem, a spiritual testament and Petrarch’s last work in colloquial language.
