A Story Told on the Piano.
Francisco Sassetti stands out for his unique ability to transform personal, everyday experiences into engaging musical narratives. Inspired by journeys between musical styles, he creates true tales on the piano, in a storytelling style that touches the audience’s heart.
His music is part of the neoclassical movement, a minimalist movement that dialogues with names such as Arvo Pärt, Wim Mertens, Michael Nyman and Ludovico Einaudi. This style combines influences from classical music, jazz and soundtracks, creating a unique and emotional experience.
The shows on March 9 and 16 will be a unique opportunity to witness the mastery of an artist who continues to redefine the contemporary music scene.
