A promenade concert for piano and electronics.
If there's a soundtrack for everyone's thoughts in the oddest summer of the century, an artist like Boosta is here to play it to us, in a special concert in which the musician walks around amid instruments large and small, amid sounds, songs and inspirations from his memory and the music he loves, exploring the less frequented pathways of contemporary 20th century music and the milestones of his own piano repertoire while also pre-premiering pieces from his new record. Boosta accompanies the audience on a fully-fledged journey to discover the different nuances of music and its unique power as a social and emotional bonding agent. "I'd like to offer the audience a kind of stroll around electronics and the piano. I like to call it a soundtrack of the silence of those who come to listen. Only within this marvellous box which is silence can we find the ability to cause a spark to grow. Music is a marvellous instrument. And I'd like music played on instruments to become, in its turn, an instrument for people so that they can lose themselves a little" (D.B.D.).
