Our summer recital brought together a programme that wove stories, landscapes, and memories through music, creating a journey across different styles, cultures, and eras.

Among the works on the programme, Mendelssohn’s Lied ohne Worte, Op. 109, held a special place. Dedicated to the pioneering cellist Lise Cristiani, one of the earliest professional female cello virtuosos of the nineteenth century, it stands as a delicate tribute to both lyricism and artistic courage. Knowing the story behind this miniature gave an additional layer of meaning to its intimate and expressive character.

The programme also featured Astor Piazzolla’s Oblivion, originally composed for Marco Bellocchio’s 1984 film Enrico IV. Melancholic yet timeless, it has become one of Piazzolla’s most beloved works, reaching audiences far beyond the world of tango while preserving its unmistakable emotional intensity.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us for this evening.
