The evening combines rare maturity, a luminous interpretation, and a deep connection to Bach\u2019s music.<\/p>\n

Born in 2001, the Finnish-Cuban Anton Mejias has quickly risen to international prominence as an exceptional interpreter of Bach. Having memorized Bach\u2019s Das Wohltemperierte Klavier<\/em> at an early age, the pianist has a broad command of the composer\u2019s core keyboard repertoire: the French and English suites, the partitas, and both books of Das Wohltemperierte Klavier. The six French suites featured in this recital form an elegant and multifaceted whole, in which dance-like qualities, ornamentation, and structural clarity alternate with refined artistry.<\/p>\n

Mejias\u2019s playing combines crystalline clarity with vivid expression, making Bach\u2019s music immediate and timeless. In his hands, the French suites unfold as a colorful interpretation, in which each dance takes on its own character, ranging from light elegance to profound contemplation. The atmosphere is intimate and focused, like a quiet dialogue between the composer and the listener.<\/p>\n

This recital offers a rare opportunity to hear Bach\u2019s six French suites as a single cohesive whole, interpreted by a young virtuoso pianist. Anton Mejias\u2019s strong connection to this music makes the evening exceptional: in addition to being a single performance, the concert is part of a story of deep immersion in one of the most significant bodies of Western music.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”15″][vc_custom_heading text=”Event’s artists” font_container=”tag:h4|text_align:left|color:%231d4754″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][vc_row_inner column_margin=”30px” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”3%” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”3%” top_padding_phone=”10%” constrain_group_5=”yes” bottom_padding_phone=”10%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”23291″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][nectar_cta btn_style=”underline” underline_visibility=”default” heading_tag=”p” link_type=”regular” button_color=”default” text_color=”#1d4754″ button_border_thickness=”0px” alignment=”left” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” icon_family=”none” link_text=”Anton Mejias” url=”\/en\/portfolio\/anton-mejias”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” id=”info” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”3px” column_border_color=”#bc9634″ column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”60px” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_custom_heading text=”INFO” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left|color:%231d4754″ use_theme_fonts=”yes”]
