Sira Pellicer & Dmitry Batalov

A colorful meeting of the South and East: a saxophonist from sunny Valencia and a pianist from vibrant Moscow. Their musical paths converged – in the heart of Switzerland, where both refine their art at renowned universities: Sira Pellicer at the Zurich University of the Arts with Lars Mlekusch, Dmitry Batalov at the Basel Music Academy in the class of Claudio Martínez Mehner.
