For the first time in Paris

Guitar concerts are a forte of the Théâtre de la Ville's musical programmes. Who could have forgotten Filomena Moretti's four concerts at the Théâtre des Abbesses? The same house will soon welcome a newcomer, Marlon Titre. He studied at the Hague Academy of Music, in Düsseldorf and in Princeton (USA), and is now both a composer and a teacher. The young, intense, eager and over-talented musician has received a large number of international awards. He displays his art brilliantly in concerts and recordings, and his repertoire extends from the baroque period to the most contemporary pieces, such as Steve Reich's Electric Counterpoint or his own compositions. He is also totally at home with the Spanish repertoire. His programme will span a period from Bach to the present times, with notably pieces by Leo Brouwer and Anton Lauro with Mertz, Tarrega, Sor, Ponce and Villa-Lobos on the way. What an exemplary eclectic choice!
