On the 28th of March 2025, the drama, romanticism and outstandingly excelled piano craft will met together in the Auditorio Stelio Molo. The jurors of the IV International Piano competition Jeune Chopin, guided by the formidable diva of the pianofote – Martha Argerich – have evoked the memories of the ephemeral charm which once had captivated XIX century ball halls in Paris, intimate study rooms of Chopin and Debussy and the profound imaginative paths of harmony.
Mischa Maisky, Martha’s decades-long partner and one of the most important cellists of our time, has joined the musical celebration with a duo masterpiece of F. Chopin, with M. Argerich on the piano.
