Lunchtime concert

Edoardo Gatta is a young Italian classical guitarist who combines tradition with innovation in his music. He brings classical and modern works to life while simultaneously creating new guitar music in collaboration with emerging composers. This is a perspective also shared by Vassilis Poulios, who likes to emphasize Beethoven's assertion that “a guitar is a miniature orchestra in itself”, by performing repertoire that showcases the instrument’s multi-faceted nature.

Gatta and Poulios are two highly committed musicians active in the fields of performance and pedagogy. On top of their concert career in solo and chamber music ensembles, they share a passion for teaching which comes together in their volunteer work at Refugee Project Maastricht, where they give guitar lessons to asylum seekers from all over the world.

Whether you are a seasoned listener of classical (guitar) music or wish to become more acquainted with the captivating sounds that these wonderful virtuoso musicians can produce with their instruments, this lunchtime concert is a perfect opportunity.
