CLASSICAL MUSIC IN THE CRYPT - Piano Concert for the Left Hand Yasuyo Segawa, piano

An extraordinary turn of fate shaped the international career of Japanese pianist Yasuyo Segawa. At the age of 17, she lost the use of her right hand due to focal dystonia. Yet her great talent and strong will prevailed: she focused on playing the piano with her left hand and went on to win 12 international awards. In fact, there are numerous works composed or arranged specifically for this purpose.

Her impressive virtuosity and the orchestral sound make one forget that she is playing with “only” one hand. Her spectacular concerts captivate audiences worldwide.

The crypt maintains a pleasant temperature year-round.
