Luis González Garrido & Pavel Efremov

After first meeting during their studies at Musikene (San Sebastián, Spain), they later developed this joint project, with an initial residency in Paris in March 2024 and a second one in Essen in August 2024.

They have performed at festivals such as SummerWinds in Germany and the Festival Jeunes Talents in Paris, France.

A vibrant journey through the “New World,” where cultures and histories intertwine. Accordeonist Pavel Efremov (Chișinău) and saxophonist Luis González Garrido (Spain) present a program exploring the rich musical heritage of the Americas: Gershwin’s blend of classical, blues, and jazz; Chick Corea’s iconic Spain; Amy Beach’s enchanting mazurka; and the evocative Coffin Ship by Polish composer Sweresz. From Argentina, the classical approaches of Ginastera and Stravinsky to tango and milonga, and Piazzolla’s revolutionary Tango Nuevo – a fusion of tango, classical, and jazz born in Paris. A concert of discoveries, emotion, and new worlds of sound.

Concert duration: 60 minutes. Possibility to adapt to larger formats.
