The magic of the historic piano returns to the Cartuja de Valldemossa with the opening concert of the XVII Pianino Festival 2026, starring the prestigious Japanese pianist Naruhiko Kawaguchi.

The recital will take place in the Cell of Frédéric Chopin and George Sand, a unique space where the composer spent the winter of 1838-1839 and where the extraordinary atmosphere that inspired part of his work is still preserved today.

🎼 Chopin and the Spanish composers

Under the title "Chopin and Spanish composers"Naruhiko Kawaguchi will offer a program that explores the musical dialogue between European Romanticism and the Spanish piano tradition, performed on an exceptional original Pleyel piano from 1851, Chopin's preferred instrument.

Internationally recognized for his performances on historical instruments, Kawaguchi stands out for his sensitivity, elegance and deep knowledge of the romantic repertoire, offering the public a sound experience very close to what Chopin himself might have heard.

✨ A once-in-a-lifetime concert

Listening to Chopin's music on a 19th-century Pleyel piano, in the same place where the composer lived, makes this concert an experience that is hard to match.

A perfect evening to inaugurate a new edition of the Pianino Festival and enjoy history, heritage and music in one of the most emblematic corners of Mallorca.
