About the event
Duo Encanto
Natali Boghossian, Falcon soprano
Hans van Beelen, piano
Where the Seas Touch is a lyrical recital tracing a journey across Europe, guided by water as memory, passage and transformation.
At the threshold of Gibraltar, where two seas meet but do not mingle, the journey begins. From France’s rivers of remembrance in Berlioz and Chausson, the programme flows eastward to Spain and Catalonia, where Toldrà, Granados and Serrano give voice to tides of life and emotion. It continues to Venice’s moonlit waters in Hahn, and finally to Greece, where song becomes ritual.
Falcon soprano Natali Boghossian and pianist Hans van Beelen perform as Duo Encanto, where voice and piano meet like two currents in the same sea. Singing in multiple languages, Boghossian embraces the sea’s many tongues, weaving personal memory with musical lineage. Together, the duo creates an intimate sound world in which each piece unfolds as part of a larger narrative.
In a world of speed and distraction, Where the Seas Touch offers a contemplative space where listening becomes an act of presence and sound, like water, carries the first memory of the world.
