Palermo Classica 2025: The Opening with Roberto Beltrán-Zavala and an Exceptional Talent, Clayton Stephenson

An Honor to Share Music in Palermo

We are deeply grateful to the Palermo Classica International Festival for inviting us to be part of its 15th edition, an event that not only celebrates musical excellence but also honors the cultural richness of this unique city. Participating in such a prestigious festival, which brings together artists from around the world in historic venues, is a privilege we greatly value.

It has been an honor to collaborate with the extraordinary pianist Clayton Stephenson, whose energy, talent, and interpretive sensitivity turned every rehearsal and moment on stage into an unforgettable experience. Together, we offered the audience an evening where 20th-century American music resonated with the soul of Palermo, creating a bridge between cultures and emotions.

This project reflects the essence of what we love most: sharing music that inspires, moves, and transcends borders.
