Pianist Gabriele Carcano’s India Debut Tour
Italian Pianist Gabriele Carcano is debuting in India with performances in New Delhi, Pune and Mumbai from the 5th – 11th of January 2016. Gabriele had this to say on his first trip to India –
” I’m very excited and curious about my upcoming recitals in New Delhi, Pune and Mumbai. It’s my debut in India and it’s always very refreshing to meet new audiences, especially in places with such a strong cultural tradition. In a way it’s like a mutual exchange and that’s very stimulating for an artist. I’d like to thank the Italian Cultural Institutes of Delhi and Mumbai for their support and looking very much forward on being there! “
