Concerto di Richard Galliano, San Pietroburgo– Russiaby Rob Howard |
 Il famoso fisarmonicista francese Richard Galliano terrà un concerto allla “Maestro Yury Temirkanov Grand Philharmonic Hall”, San Pietroburgo, il 2 Ottobre alle 19:00.Richard Galliano (nato nel 1950) è considerato uno dei più importanti fisarmonicisti a livello internazionale, e suona nelle più prestigiose sale da concerto del mondo. Musicista innovativo, Galliano ha inventato il ‘Nuovo Musette’ anni fa, e si usa dire che questo genere sta al musette come Il “Tango Nuevo” di Astor Piazzolla sta al tango tradizionale. La sala da concerto, che fu inaugurata nel 1802, ha visto esibizioni di molti famosi musicisti come Franz Liszt, G. Berlioz, Richard Wagner, Gustave Mahler, Arthur Rubinstein, P.Viardo, P. Sarasate, e molti altri. Per maggiori informazioni scrivere a info@BalletAndOpera.com |
