At the piano the pianist Arcieri, Chopin's greatest interpreter

The protagonist of the evening will be the famous Roman pianist Marco Arcieri, one of the greatest interpreters of Chopin. The pianist engineer - who for years defined himself as a pianist supported by an engineer - performed as the only soloist the entire piano work of the Polish composer at the Prussian Emperor's Castle in Berlin and brought Chopin's repertoire to some of the most important cities in the world: from Hamburg to Madrid, from Milan to Rome, from Paris, to Vienna and London. Precisely in London on October 10th he will hold a concert at Smith Square Hall, the concert hall in the center of Smith Square, in the Westminster district.

Chopin becomes social

The pianist is also social: on Instagram, Tik Toc and Facebook he has tens of thousands of followers. There the pianist shares his videos dedicated to Fryderyk Chopin, so much so that he has been awarded as a popularizer of classical music. At his concerts 30% of tickets are sold to young people under 18. For Marco Arcieri Chopin is not simply a repertoire, but his artistic home. Each of his concerts is a tribute and a mission: to share Chopin not as a show, but as an intimate truth. A deeply personal return to the composer's authentic voice.

Over one hundred pianos in the capital

As part of the Piano City event, one hundred pianos will bring music throughout the city, involving spaces traditionally dedicated to concerts, but also squares and courtyards. The presence of one of the festival pianos at the Caritas Hostel takes on a particular meaning: culture enters a welcoming place and becomes an opportunity for meeting and sharing, connecting different people, stories and worlds through a universal language such as that of music.
