Michel and Yasuko Bouvard
The recital that the Bouvard couple will offer is extraordinarily unique. On the Perpetuo Socorro organ, an instrument made by Pedro Ghys at the beginning of the 20th century, Michel Bouvard and his wife, Yasuko Uyama, will perform a very varied programme covering more than four centuries of music, in which they will alternate on the podium, but will also play together, with some pieces for 4 hands and others for 3, specialities rarely seen on the organ. From Charpentier (the famous Prelude that served as the theme song for Eurovision) 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 others by some of its most distinguished representatives, such as César Franck or Maurice Duruflé. An opportunity to immerse oneself in unknown territories.
