Two, Three and Four-hand recital
The recital that the Bouvard couple will offer is extraordinarily unique. On the organ at the Perpetuo Socorro Sanctuary, an instrument made by Pedro Ghys at the beginning of the 20th century, Michel Bouvard and his wife, Yasuko Uyama, will carry out a very varied program covering more than four centuries of music, for which they will alternate on the stage, although they will also play together, with some pieces for 4 hands and others for 3, which are specialities rarely seen on the organ. From Charpentier (the famous Prelude that served as the Eurovision fanfare) to Juan-Alfonso García or Jean Bouvard, the organist's grandfather, the recital includes music by great composers not particularly associated with the instrument (Mozart, Schumann) and other music by some of its most distinguished representatives, such as César Franck or Maurice Duruflé. An opportunity to immerse in unknown territories.
