Experience the timeless beauty of Paredes’ music in an intimate performance at The National Museum of Toys and Miniatures, featuring cellist Ezgi Karakus and Beau Bledsoe on Portuguese guitar. Revered as one of Portugal’s greatest guitarists and most influential composers, Paredes crafted works of profound lyricism, emotional depth, and intricate artistry. Ezgi and Beau bring these pieces to life with sensitivity and expressive power, weaving the warm resonance of the cello with the shimmering delicacy of the Portuguese guitar. This concert offers a rare opportunity to hear Paredes’ iconic music in a setting that invites deep listening, reflection, and connection. Part of the Museum’s Arts & Culture Discovery Series, this concert will also include a lecture on the life of Carlos Paredes.
