Italian pianist Gregorio Nardi plays Colombian rarities at the International Chamber Music Festival in Medellín

The X Inter­na­tional Colom­bian Cham­ber Music Fest­ival will take place in Medellín next month. It has become one of the most fre­quen­ted fest­ivals on the inter­na­tional cir­cuit, and an import­ant stop for many musicians.

Italian pian­ist Gregorio Nardi will be the guest of hon­our this year, with two con­certs on 3 and 4 Octo­ber at the Teatro Pablo Tobon Uribe in Medel­lin, Colom­bia. One of the prin­cipal onject­ives of the Fest­ival is to present music by Colom­bian com­posers who have been unjustly neg­lected, so the first even­ing, Nardi’s recital will present works by Guillermo Uribe Hol­guín, Ant­o­nio Maria Valen­cia, Lucas Estrada, Luis Ant­o­nio Esco­bar, Luis Car­los Figueroa, and the first per­form­ance of Jet d’Eau by Car­los Posada Amador.

On the second even­ing Gregorio Nardi, along with the EAFIT Sym­phony Orches­tra, will play two great Colom­bian mas­ter­works for piano and orches­tra: the romantic Con­certo by Jesus Ber­mudez Silva and the first per­form­ance of the unfin­ished Con­certo by Adolfo Mejía.
