Alessandro Fongaro’s Pietre ft. Sun-Mi Hong, Nicolo Ricci & Jesse Schilderink - Youngwoo Lee solo

A cry to live

Pietre ('stones' in Italian) is a band led by bassist Alessandro Fongaro, who previously performed on our stage with Sun-Mi Hong, Ambergris and Brainteaser Orchestra. He describes Pietre as a cry for life. The music sometimes falters and seems to fall apart, but then it moves forward again, inspired by stories of love and friendship that are expressed through intensity, sensitivity and vulnerability in the close interplay.

The 2 saxophonists in Pietre show an impressive range, tightly supported by double bass and drums. The debut album First Time (A)live celebrated the end of the lockdown with a live recording of the group's very first concert. They recently released the self-titled second album, which was recorded in the studio.
