About the concert
Neoclassical piano concerto with elements of blues and symphonic rock.
"Seven Elements" is a concerto for solo piano with original music in a neoclassical style. The program includes 15 works composed by Ian Filiarovski between 1983 and 2025.
The concert's musical language ranges from atmospheric and immersive minimalism to powerful, emotionally charged symphonic sounds. The program's title reflects its essence: the expression of feelings and states of mind through the opposing elements of human nature.
All the works are united by a single idea: to awaken a wide range of emotions in the listener and allow them to experience these emotions through music.
Philosophy of the "Seven Elements" Project
An element is a manifestation of the powerful and unsurpassed force of nature and the environment in which it exists.
The four basic elements—fire, earth, air, and water—form the foundation of life, influencing a person's physical and emotional state, character, and energy. To these, Ian adds three more essential elements of human existence: Life, Reason, and Love.
The harmony of the seven elements creates a holistic conception of life, where each person is a miniature reflection of the Universe. Elements of the concert:
• Fire (Action, Passion): energy, brilliance, determination, the capacity to warm and transform.
• Earth (Foundation, Stability): support, structure, material values, a sense of security.
• Air (Thoughts, Lightness): intellect, freedom, communication, inspiration.
• Water (Emotions, Flexibility): intuition, feelings, adaptability, inner fluidity.
• Life: birth, development, struggle, love, and the end of life.
• Reason: thought, consciousness, cognition, logic, and creativity.
• Love: acceptance, care, trust, loyalty, and passion.
Invitation
• Instrumental music has the unique ability to immerse the listener in a world of images, memories, and personal experiences based on the events of their own lives. We invite you to spend an hour in Barcelona's legendary, small, and intimate La Casa del Contes theater, with a small group of spectators (the auditorium seats 25-30), experiencing inspiration and deep emotions while listening to live performances of original music, from refined minimalism to grandiose symphonic works.
