Tribute To Mario Stantchev

Pianist Mario Stantchev passed away a year ago. His charisma and dazzling playing left a lasting impression on us.

Born in Bulgaria, he studied there and became the pianist who made his country proud.

Because of his refusal to collaborate with the regime, he had to flee and landed in Nancy, France, in the early 80s. There he met Hervé Czak. They performed together (Nancy and Vienna festivals, etc.).

Their friendship continued and they had the opportunity to play again behind the former "Iron Curtain" several times.

All the musicians gathered tonight shared the stage with Mario. We will pay tribute to him by performing many of his beautiful compositions.
