About the Concert
In October 2025, Richard Galliano released a remake of his legendary 1993 album *Viaggio*. Upon listening to the old studio recordings again, Galliano felt both joy and a touch of nostalgia. In particular, he remembered the late musicians Pierre Michelot and Charles Bellonzi, accompanied by the virtuoso guitarist Biréli Lagrène.
These musical memories have now found their way into the album *New Viaggio*—both a tribute to the past and a bridge to the future. “I’m delighted to continue this musical journey with new companions: Adrien Moignard on guitar and Philippe Aerts on double bass. ‘Their talent and sensitivity lend the compositions a new dimension,’ says Richard Galliano.
