Piano vs Groove

The story of the groove through the piano strings. Two explorers of sound, Cesare Picco and Alessio Bertallot, meet on stage for a special journey through the iconic pieces of the dj culture and to create a special encounter with the evocative power of the piano. The show ranges through fifty years of groove culture, passing through those iconic and famous songs known to the public. What is created is a new kaleidoscopic world of sounds, made alive and pulsating by the composition and improvisation in real time of the piano.
