DAVID MARTÍN GUTIÉRREZ AND ANA BAKRADZE AT SANDFORT CASTLE ON NOVEMBER 1

Music connects worlds

When talent, passion and cultural diversity come together, something very special is created. This is also the case with David Martín Gutiérrez and Ana Bakradze, who met at the renowned Berlin University of the Arts. Since then, the Georgian-born pianist and the Spanish cellist have been inspiring audiences with their captivating musical collaboration.

The young duo's program is diverse and yet typically Spanish: from touching arias from the opera repertoire to popular Spanish songs, spirited dances and fiery flamenco sounds. At the Münsterland Festival at Sandfort Castle in Olfen, guests were treated to a repertoire that bridges the gap between the two cultures.
