The first part of the concert will feature Alfred Schnittke’s Concerto for Piano and Strings, for the interpretation of which Cosme has earned special acclaim. “The opus, rarely played in concert halls, lies between darkness and light, traveling in time from Russian Orthodox singing to jazz intonation, looking for answers to the eternal questions about human existence and the limitations of life,” the concert organizers wrote.
