Trompetissimo: piano y trompeta (IX Class_ik Lanzarote)verified
Trompetissimo opens the ninth Class_ik Lanzarote at the Teatro Municipal de Tías. Trumpet players Chano Gil, from the Canaries, and Andriy Ilkiv, of Ukrainian and German background, are joined by pianists Óliver Curbelo and Natalia Ilkiv for an hour of music in which brass and keyboard answer each other across very different styles. The concert starts at 20:00 and tickets cost 15 €.
The project grew out of a long friendship and years of shared work between Chano Gil and Andriy Ilkiv. Rather than compete, the two trumpet players set their instruments talking to each other, while pianists Óliver Curbelo and Natalia Ilkiv hold the conversation together from the keyboard. The programme runs about sixty minutes and shifts character from one piece to the next, from full-bodied brilliance to passages that are almost whispered, showing how far the trumpet can carry a recital on its own.
The concert opens the ninth edition of Class_ik Lanzarote and takes place at the Teatro Municipal de Tías, on Calle San Antonio in the town centre. Tías is the municipality that Puerto del Carmen belongs to, so it is a short drive up from the coast. The performance begins at 20:00 and tickets are sold through Ecoentradas at 15 €.
