This is the scene where the great French multi-instrumentalist Michel Godard (on serpent on this occasion) and I will interpret my most recent polyfonías – and «Conques, la quête», bien sûr – on Wednesday 26th of August 2020 at 6:30 pm.
As I presented «Conques, la quête» in 2010 – on the same spot – with my trio Polyfonías Poetry Project. Mark Solborg on guitar, Salvador Vidal on soprano and bass clarinets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7HfritdDyI
