The Associação Amigos do Conservatório de Música da Madeira presents the annual Madeira Piano Fest.
Now in its tenth edition, the festival brings together distinguished pianists from different countries, performing in a variety of recital combinations under the artistic direction of Robert Andres.
This year’s repertoire offers a captivating journey through music that ranges from charming and humorous works to compositions of profound emotional depth and artistic intensity — from moments of dazzling virtuosity to passages evoking rich, almost orchestral sonorities.
The festival’s performances will feature Steinway and Bechstein pianos, resonating within the elegant setting of the Teatro Municipal Baltazar Dias.
