Pedro Burmester and Mário Laginha have long been promoting encounters between their different musical styles. This complicity was documented in 1994 in the album Duetos and, since then, the unique profile of this duo has regularly been heard in concert. In 2007, they also created the 3 Pianos project with Bernardo Sassetti. Back in the duo format, they will perform at Gulbenkian Music in a programme featuring Mário Laginha’s Concerto for Two Pianos and different interpretations of Chopin’s Ballad No. 1.
