PROJECT
Echoes of Latitude
“Echoes of Latitude: a journey across Europe and America in the 20th century” is a captivating exploration of intercultural dialogue throught string quartet compositions. Spanning from Europe to America, this musical odyssey showcases the kaleidoscopic outcomes of the 20th Century composition from north to south, inviting audiences to embark on a journey of discovery and connection. Through the concert we aim to foster cross-cultural understanding and appreciation for diverse musical traditions.
