A concert featuring original works by pianist and composer Alex Kalman.
There are moments in life that words cannot express. They come to life in the quiet connection between fingers and piano keys, between the heart and music.
“When the Piano Keys Meet the Soul” is an intimate, moving and surprising concert that invites the audience to explore a rich tapestry of original musical landscapes. At the heart of the evening is the piano – pulsing, telling stories and engaging in an extraordinary dialogue with the flute, cello and clarinet.
More than just a concert, this is an immersive experience of personal connection, shifting musical colors and moments that unfold spontaneously on stage.
Join us on this musical journey and experience an evening of sounds that touch the heart and stay with you long after the lights go down.
