Poesy

This recital invites a journey through music shaped by the presence — or absence — of words, moving from works that evoke the very essence of poetry to those directly drawn from texts and transformed into instrumental songs. It poses a subtle question: how much can music express when words are removed, and what of the poem remains in the silence between the notes?
