Peter Kerkelov: La grande tristezza

“Is sadness a personal endeavour or is it shared with all humanity? Is it our own or does it fly like a bird with millions of others? Is sadness universal?… ”

The Bulgarian audience will experience the world premiere of Peter Kerkelov’s ‘La grande tristezza’, performed by Trio INFINITO. Featuring Gergana Nestorova (piano), Martin Stoyanov (clarinet), and Sion Najman (cello), the ensemble presents the program from their debut album — a bridge between Late Romanticism and contemporary expression where tradition and modernity converge.
