PAOLO PROFETI & ȘTEFAN STOIANOVICI

PAOLO PROFETI & ȘTEFAN STOIANOVICI

An intimate yet dynamic evening, built around the close musical conversation between two friends. A mix of standards, originals, and reimagined songs performed with a balance of intellect and warmth. This project grew out of their collaboration in more usual ensemble formulas and is now ready to see the light of stage in order to add a new dimension to their shared repertoire.

To support this project, admission will be based on donations.
