Classical concerts in Alfaz
Música Clásica association in Alfaz del Pi
This year marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of the great German musician Ludwig van Beethoven and there will be performances of his works around the world throughout the year to celebrate. Music lovers on the Costa Blanca can join those celebrations in a performance by the prestigious Trio Metamorphosi at the Casa Cultura, L’Alfas del Pi on Saturday, February 15.
Their concert programme of Beethoven Trios includes the Archduke Trio, so-called because it was dedicated to Archduke Rudolph of Austria, the youngest of twelve children of Leopold II, Holy Roman Emperor.
The three musicians, Mauro Loguercio (violin), and the two brothers Angelo (piano) and Francesco Pepicelli (cello), boast top-level experience and have performed in many of the most prestigious auditoria in the world, from the Philharmonic in Berlin to the Scala in Milan, the Salle Gaveau in Paris to the Suntory Hall in Tokyo, and from Carnegie Hall in New York to the Coliseum in Buenos Aires.
In terms of recording music, the Trio Metamorphosi is part of the DECCA catalogue with whom they are currently recording the complete cycle of Beethoven trios. Two CDs were published in 2019 and two will be published this year, 2020.
