Pianist Pablo Vergara’s latest project, “Songs from The Tower”, features recreations of works by post-romantic Chilean composers from the early XXth century. It is a musical tribute to the centennial of the legendary ¨Grupo Los Diez¨ (Group of The Ten), a fellowship of Chilean artists, poets and musicians influenced by Tostoy´’s quest for the spiritual in the arts.

From art song to Scriabin-like vignettes, tone poems and impressionistic landscapes, Vergara's arrangements make the music sound contemporary, while blurring the boundaries between genres in chamber music.
