In the world of classical music, talent often speaks louder than words, and on Monday, April 22, Trieste will witness a convergence of two remarkable talents: cellist Ettore Pagano and pianist Maximilian Kromer. The Teatro Verdi in Trieste is set to host these prodigies, promising an evening of exquisite performances that are sure to captivate the audience.
At just twenty years of age, Ettore Pagano has already carved out a name for himself as a rising star in the classical music scene. With over 40 national and international competition victories under his belt, Pagano’s virtuosity knows no bounds. His upcoming performance in Trieste marks a significant return to the city’s stage, where he previously graced the Concert Society’s prestigious “Falesie in Musica” festival back in 2020. Notably, Pagano’s international breakthrough came with his triumph at the esteemed Khachaturian competition in 2022, solidifying his status as one of the foremost cellists of his generation.
Joining Pagano on stage is the equally accomplished Maximilian Kromer, whose accolades rival those of his counterpart. Winner of numerous national and international competitions, Kromer’s prowess at the piano has earned him widespread acclaim. From the EMCY “A Step Towards Mastery” competition in St. Petersburg to the illustrious “Casinos Austria Rising Star Award,” Kromer’s musical journey is a testament to his extraordinary talent.
The duo’s performance promises to be a feast for the senses, with a repertoire that showcases the brilliance of composers such as Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Poulenc, and Brahms. From the exhilarating Toccata op. 23 to the soul-stirring Sonata No. 2 in F major op. 99, the program is a testament to the depth and range of their artistry.
Ahead of the main event, attendees will have the opportunity to engage with the musicians and the artistic director of the Trieste Concert Society, Marco Seco, in a free-entry meeting at the Ridotto del Verdi Theater.
Tickets for this musical extravaganza can be purchased online via Vivaticket or at the Concert Society’s headquarters. Alternatively, they will be available for purchase one hour prior to the performance at the Teatro Verdi.
For aficionados of classical music and enthusiasts alike, this is an evening not to be missed. Join us as we witness the convergence of two musical titans on the stage of the Teatro Verdi, where talent knows no bounds and music transcends time.
