“Bel Canto” (beautiful singing) is commonly associated with vocal performance, but in fact this style was applicable and taught to instrumentalists too. It is a musical form almost lost in our fast moving world, and yet it is fundamental for music interpretation today. This recital will present Bel Canto inspired works from England, Italy, Germany, Brazil, France and Bohemia.
