Venue: Europe Square, Solkan Bridge, Basilica on the Sveta Gora

The piano virtuoso and musical ambassador of European Capital of Culture 2025 Nova Gorica - Gorizia is creating a remarkable tribute to his homeland with two concert evenings that weave together iconic locations: the symbolic Europe Square, the majestic arches of the Solkan Bridge, and the serene tranquility of the Basilika on Sveta Gora.

The first evening promises an extraordinary dramaturgical journey, blending chamber and symphonic music. The highlight of the program is Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy for piano, vocal soloists, mixed chorus, and orchestra, creating a powerful convergence of sound and emotion.

The second evening, an intimate piano recital on Sveta Gora, offers a diverse repertoire, featuring masterpieces from the Baroque and Romantic eras, alongside moments of spontaneous improvisation. This unique musical homage brings the artist’s profound connection to the region into focus, celebrating its cultural and natural splendor.
