Alexander Gadjiev: Meeting Point (tickets), 17. 7. 2025

Alexander Gadjiev will combine the iconic Europe Square and the sublime tranquillity of the Sveta Gora Basilica in two concert evenings.

The piano virtuoso and musical ambassador of the European Capital of Culture 2025 Nova Gorica - Gorizia is preparing a unique tribute to his home region. Alexander Gadjiev will connect the iconic Europe Square and the sublime tranquillity of the Svetogorska Basilica in two concert evenings.

The evening will feature an unusual mix of chamber and symphonic music. The first part, with a more intimate programme of chamber works, will be performed by Alexander together with his great musical friends in the renovated Europe Square, where the pianist will perform Beethoven's Coral Fantasy, Op. 80 as a symbolic highlight of the evening. This magnificent work for piano, vocal soloists, choir and orchestra is inspired by a text about the universal interconnectedness of all the arts, and the composer's better-known European anthem - Ode to Joy - echoes in the uplifting posture of its vocal part.
