Matthieu Ricard I Reflections on altruism and mindfulness

A unique, intense, and intimate concert. The wonderful encounter between Buddhist monk, thinker, and humanitarian Matthieu Ricard and the revered pianist Maria João Pires.

A special concert event in which carefully selected Preludes and Fugues from Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier and Schubert’s Impromptus weave together with meditative reflections on attentive listening, altruistic love, and pure awareness.
