The guitar in concert

In the rustic historical hamlet of Curzútt, nestled in the woods above Monte Carasso, Ticino Musica presents an intimate concert where the sound of the guitar merges with the voice of nature.

The protagonist of the concert is Pablo Márquez, an Argentinian guitarist and conductor, internationally renowned for his artistry. Márquez combines his concert career with a deep interpretative exploration, collaborating closely with contemporary composers and teaching prestigious masterclasses around the world.

The guitar, with its warm and expressive voice, becomes the narrator of Iberian colors, folk memories, and refined musical architectures. A fascinating musical journey through different eras and styles, unified by transcriptions that bring out new expressive nuances of the instrument.

A precious event in a timeless place: the evocative Romanesque Church of San Bernardo, overlooking the mountains above Bellinzona and reachable by a pleasant walk in nature.
