On the evening of July 10, the space of Ana Mandara Villas Dalat in Da Lat was filled with classical and modern music through a special piano solo program called "Fairy, Dream and Dance" by French pianist David Greilsammer.

The concert was a combination of classic works by many composers such as Robert Schumann, Claude Debussy, George Gershwin and Maurice Ravel, along with a special appearance of a new work by young British composer Georgie Ward.

David Greilsammer opened with Schumann's Davidsbündlertänze suite, leading the audience into a dreamy, magical world .

Next is Claude Debussy's Les fées sont d'exquises danseuses (The Fairies Are Wonderful Dancers), where each note invites the audience into a dreamy, ethereal, and otherworldly world.

The program also introduces George Gershwin's Prélude No. 1 , a piece rich in jazz and a distinctive New York sound - both free-spirited and fiery...

A special highlight of the concert night was the debut performance of Georgie Ward, a composition dedicated to David Greilsammer, recreating the atmosphere of a ballroom with unique and daring music.
