Violin virtuoso group Pagagnini to perform in Istanbul


Pagagnini will present their entertaining show that depicts the musical soul of legendary violin virtuoso Niccolo Pagagnini on Nov. 26 at the Cemal Reşit Rey Concert Hall. They present a contemporary classical musical performance full of surprises that heightens their viewers' tension. Founded in 1991, the group continues to depict Pagagnini's sophisticated compositions, daring personality and incredible talent through a concerto filled with witty humor. The grace of the virtuoso musicians and their splendid performance combine with extraordinary new interpretations of Pagagnini, which translates into performance that enchants everybody from seven to 70. The show, which brings new vision to classical music, redefines the term "contemporary classical music." During Pagagnini's show, violin virtuosos Ara Malikian, Thomas Potiron, Eduardo Ortega and Gartxot Ortiz not only play compositions of Mozart, Pachalbel, Chopin, Boccherini, Falla, Sarasate and Paganini, but also rock and folk tunes. The artists present a special stage show that involves the audience just as much as the violin and cello.When: Nov. 26Where: Cemal Reşit Rey Concert Hall
