Sofiane Pamart returns to the Palau de la Música Barcelona

Pianist and composer Sofiane Pamart, one of the most listened-to artists in today’s contemporary piano scene, will offer a solo recital at the Palau de la Música Catalana. He is an artist we discovered thanks to students from Tretze Piano Studio Barcelona. His music blends classical pianistic writing with a modern, cinematic sensitivity, resulting in emotional, direct, and accessible concerts that connect with audiences across generations.
Would you like to come to the concert with us? We’re thinking of going out for dinner with students from Tretze Piano Studio afterwards to share our impressions of the performance by this iconic young composer and pianist.

Recommended Book: «Mademoiselle» Conversaciones con Nadia Boulanger

With Mademoiselle, Bruno Monsaingeon offers us—just as he did in Glenn Gould: No, I’m Not at All an Eccentric—the testimony of an exceptionally lucid and fascinating figure: Nadia Boulanger, “Music personified,” according to Paul Valéry. Pianist, conductor, mentor to Stravinsky, and teacher, over nearly seventy years of career she trained an extraordinary number of leading composers, conductors, and performers of the twentieth century, from Gardiner, Markevitch, Barenboim, Glass, Bernstein, and Menuhin to Piazzolla and Quincy Jones. Drawing on materials gathered during conversations with Boulanger in the final six years of her life, Monsaingeon compiles and organizes these interviews to recreate her voice and evoke the presence of the great teacher of teachers. A deeply moving tribute to an admirable figure, immensely influential both for her unquestionable musical gifts and for her unforgettable pedagogical legacy.

Top Concerts in January: Yuja Wang
