Join us for a captivating evening as we continue our "Musical Offerings" series with "Ballades: A Tapestry of Music." Program Highlights:
The program will feature both old and new repertoire, pieces that have held significant meaning for me over the past few years, reflecting my growth and transformation through study and life flows.
This concert showcases the timeless beauty and storytelling power of the ballade, featuring works by Chopin and some original compositions.
The evening's program is designed as a tapestry of music, each piece contributing to a rich and varied narrative, in an exploration of music as storytelling.
Why Attend?
Chopin's Finest: Revel in the profound emotional depth and technical brilliance of Chopin's Ballades, performed by a pianist who brings them to life with sensitivity and flair.
New Horizons: As in previous recitals, this performance will feature improvised interludes, intertwining the different pieces presented. Yet, I ask myself, if I had a story to tell, what would that story be? What would the harmony tell? Why does it even matter to be telling a story at all? That's my own exploration in my Ballata.
Come to hear this poetry made music—emotional narratives like a tapestry woven in musical harmony.

"Flavio's compositions were deeply thought through, played with a delicate touch and adding an immense depth to the performance. He managed to draw exquisite sounds from our instrument. He brought such honesty to his performance, it was an incredibly moving experience for all of us who were lucky enough to be there."
