555 sonatas, and two words left by the Italian composer Domenico Scarlatti. "Live happily", a simple injunction. For Scarlatti, happiness was a matter of course that had to be lived every day. Through the works of Scarlatti, Bach, Chopin, Liszt... pianist Aurélie Verdier invites us on a musical and philosophical journey. Light and shadow, life and death, heaven and earth, humour and seriousness... extremes meet and mingle in a programme dedicated to Italy, joy and happiness.
Aurélie Verdier is an artist in constant search of a link between music and the other arts, and places the exchange with the audience at the heart of her musical programming.
