Last week, as part of the Comunidad de Madrid’s celebration of Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936), Eduardo was invited to play THE SAME PIANO PLAYED BY LORCA 100 YEARS BEFORE, in the renowned Residencia de Estudiantes.
The congress, titled “Federico García Lorca: 100 Años en Madrid (1919-2019)”, took place at cultural landmarks across the city over several days, celebrating Lorca’s life, work, influences and impact.

Eduardo’s considered tribute contained pieces by some of Lorca’s favourite composers and foremost influencers, including Chopin, Beethoven, Debussy and Albéniz. Additionally, he played a piece from ‘Amor Brujo’ by Manuel de Falla – a friend of Lorca’s – and Lorca’s own ‘Nana’.
Magical fingers. Wonderful music. A special piano. A small tribute – to a giant. The people who were able to attend the concert considered themselves very fortunate. But, nobody quite as much as Eduardo.
