INAUGURAL GALA INTERNATIONAL PIANO COMPETITION – DEL VALLE DUO

Inaugural Gala of the 3rd International Piano Competition City of Málaga.

There are moments when music stops being something you listen to and becomes something you feel. The opening of the 3rd International Piano Competition City of Málaga is one of those moments.

To kick off this event, we are fortunate to bring home two of our most beloved and brilliant musicians: the brothers Víctor and Luis del Valle. Originally from Vélez-Málaga, these two pianists have traveled the world—from Munich to New York and Seoul—showing that when they play together, it seems as if their hands share the same soul.

What makes this concert special? Beyond their impressive international awards (like the prestigious ARD from Munich) or having filled the most imposing auditoriums in Europe, what truly makes the Del Valle Duo unique is their connection. Critics say they are "prodigious" and manage to make two pianos sound as powerful as an entire orchestra, but what you will feel in your seat is the passion, the risk, and the joy of two brothers who love what they do.

It's a golden opportunity to enjoy up close artists who, although they now teach and shine on the grand circuits, maintain that freshness and "unique voice" that makes them so approachable.

Come celebrate with us the start of this International Competition in an evening where virtuosity meets emotion. Málaga sounds like piano, and no one better than the Del Valle Duo to remind us of that.
