Last night Madrid’s Auditorio Nacional de Musica had a great event featuring Maestro Maurizio Pollini. The pianist’s performance was part of the 24th edition of the cycle of Great Performers organised by the Fondazione Scherzo.
The Italian Cultural Institute cooperated with the Foundation to promote Maestro Pollini’s concert. Since 2001, the Fondazione Scherzo has concentrated its activities on disseminating piano music through two festivals, one specifically dedicated to Great Performers and another to Young Performers, which has become a point of reference for emerging talents both at national and international level.
In last night’s concert, the only one scheduled in Spain, Pollini played Chopin and Debussy. The same Festival schedules a performance by Beatrice Rana next autumn.
