About the musicians

Santiago Alvarez (Argentina) has dedicated himself to tango and Argentine folk music. The Buenos Aires-born artist has given the music of his homeland a new voice and is considered one of the world's best virtuosos on the chromatic harmonica. Alvarez has recorded several albums and tours Latin America and Europe with projects such as the ‘Tanino duo’, ‘Chucara trio’ and ‘Vuela Chiringa’. His first solo album, entitled ‘Domingo’, was released in 2019 and contains historical references to the Argentine musical tradition.

As a pianist, composer and improviser, Pablo Murgier is one of those artists who dares to travel between different musical worlds – authentically and uniquely. As a soloist, he has performed at venues including the CCK in Buenos Aires, the Philharmonie in Munich, the Salle Gaveau and the Philharmonie in Paris, the Philharmonie in Gdansk and the Nikkei Hall in Tokyo. His first symphony, entitled ‘Solastalgia’, was premiered in 2024.
