STRANGE PIANOS

STRANGE PIANOS

Saturday, May 31
hh: 15:00
with: Jacopo Mazzonelli, Eleonora Wegher
in collaboration with: Mart

Strange Pianos is an artistic and musical project born from the collaboration between Jacopo Mazzonelli, a visual artist and performer, and Eleonora Wegher, a concert pianist. The duo collects and restores rare and little-known keyboard instruments, often produced in limited editions, bringing them back to their original splendor. Through performances that combine music, narration, and sonic exploration, Strange Pianos delves into the rich timbral and historical qualities of these instruments, offering the audience a unique experience that blends classical, contemporary, and experimental music.

The repertoire includes works by composers such as John Cage, Philip Glass, Béla Bartók, and György Ligeti, performed on instruments like the celesta, dulcitone, keyboard glockenspiel, and toy piano. The project has appeared at major festivals and theaters in Italy and abroad, collaborating with composer Matteo Franceschini and pushing the boundaries between visual arts and music.
