The Mendelssohn Festival opens its 13th edition with a truly captivating preview: ‘The Spirit of Bach in the Voice of Chopin’, an intense dialogue between Bach’s Baroque rigour and Chopin’s Romantic lyricism, in a musical journey that highlights the continuity and contrasts between two pivotal eras in the history of music.

The star of the show is the young Turin-based pianist Gabriele Braga, who will be performing at an afternoon concert that promises to be a powerful artistic and emotional experience.
