A PIANO IN PARIS

Torino / Monday 18 September 2023

Concert programme by Oreste Bossini

Alexandre Tharaud ph. Marco Borggreve

The stunning talent of Alexandre Tharaud is revealed in a concert featuring some of the most beautiful music ever composed by Debussy, Ravel and Satie. Plus a rousing round of improvisations that take their cue from the hit parade of modern French chansons – the way Tharaud sees things, the soul of Paris would be nothing without the likes of Charles Aznavour and Juliette Gréco.
