Dear Franz
Duo Ebano's 10th anniversary partyAs Duo Ebano celebrates its tenth anniversary, this concert marks both a milestone and a new beginning. Dear Franz is a musical letter across time — a reimagining of Franz Schubert’s world through the unique soundscape of clarinet, piano, duduk, and electronics.
With arrangements ranging from faithful transcriptions to imaginative reworkings, Marco Danesi and Paolo Gorini express their enduring love for Schubert’s music, blending classical lyricism with a contemporary edge.
The result is a deeply personal reflection on Schubert’s timeless emotions — tender, restless, and profoundly human — refracted through the sound and sensibility of today.
Marco Danesi - clarinets and duduk
Paolo Gorini - keyboards, electronics and arrangements
