Strange Pianos

Jacopo Mazzonelli is a visual artist, musician and performer, who for years has been collecting together with pianist Eleonora Wegher rare and precious musical instruments by virtue of their peculiar qualities. United by being keyboard instruments, and ideally belonging to the broad family of percussion instruments, these instruments were mostly produced in very limited quantities. Through careful research and following meticulous restoration work, the instruments have today regained their original state. Protagonists of numerous concerts where the repertoire has been conceived, curated and selected to enhance their different characteristics, the instruments are not only played, but also narrated and shown to the public, in a journey of unusual musical, timbral and organological discovery.
