The Associação Amigos do Conservatório de Música da Madeira promotes the Madeira Piano Fest annually.
The tenth edition of this festival features the participation of some pianists of different nationalities, in various combinations of piano recitals, a festival with artistic direction by Robert Andres.
This year, the chosen repertoire ranges from charming and humorous works, to works of great emotional depth and artistic impact, from virtuosity and brilliance to almost orchestral sound effects.
The pianos used will be Steinway and Bechstein, to be heard at the Teatro Municipal Baltazar Dias.
