Great performers of the 20th century
This cycle invites us to discover four unrepeatable artists, four musicians who marked an entire era with their exceptional talent and unique personality. We will explore how Maria Callas changed the world of opera with the drama and emotion of her voice, how Yehudi Menuhin's violin moved and built bridges between different cultures, how Jacqueline du Pré's passion transformed cello performance and how Glenn Gould revolutionized the world of piano with his performances. A good opportunity to get to know these geniuses better and understand why their influence and memory reach to this day.
Cycle taught by Pere-Andreu Jariod, journalist and music popularizer.
