Antón and Maite are collaborating with the Public University of Navarra in an artistic project to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the birth of the composer Fernando Remacha. On 9 and 10 November 2023, they will be holding a conference during which they will present the previously unpublished presentation of the Reduction for two pianos of Fernando Remacha’s Sinfonía en tres tiempos (1925). The Spanish duo will also be in charge of the editing of the manuscript.

ESSENZ (CD)

A project that highlights the value of music written for piano four hands, reviewing some of the key works in the evolution of the genre. Among them, the fathers of the duo, Mozart and Schubert, cannot be missed. A journey that culminates with the unparalleled virtuosity of Mendelssohn and the rebelliousness of the American William Bolcom.
