See you there!
The last couple of months flew by and it’s suddenly June. April and May were busy with concerts; Porto Pianofest editions in Madrid, Paris, Washington DC, and New York; Projecto Mensagem with soprano Lara Martins.
Time to start the final logistics for an amazing 9th edition of PPF in August, which I really can’t wait. Before that, however, there is a 5 week residency at the Met Opera with ABT, and a solo recital to open the XXIII edition of the Ciclo de Musica Sacra de Benicassim, Spain.
Let’s go 💪🏻.
