For our latest edition of Pocket Concerts, we were honored to welcome pianist and composer Xavi Torres to the studio.

Born in Tarragona and based between Amsterdam and Paris, Torres has become one of Europe’s most distinctive piano voices, blending the precision of classical music with the freedom and spontaneity of jazz.
