World influences on classical music

This programme celebrates the rich tapestry of classical music shaped by cultures from across the world. From the rhythmic vitality of Spanish dance to the lyrical colors of Eastern Europe, and from the meditative sonorities of Asia to the vibrant folk traditions of the Americas, each piece reveals how composers have drawn inspiration from far beyond their own borders.

The piano and strings become storytellers of a global journey, weaving together melodies, harmonies, and rhythms that transcend boundaries. Audiences are invited to experience classical music not as a single tradition, but as a living art form enriched by countless voices and influences.

A concert of discovery and connection, where the world’s sounds meet in harmony.
