Sossio Capasso headlines Marbella Bach Organ Festival grand finale

Those who love a little classical organ music will be gathering in Marbella for a memorable closing event this coming weekend, Sunday, June 7 at 5pm. The III Festival Internacional de Organo Bach-Marbella reaches its climax with a special performance by Italian virtuoso Sossio Capasso.

Artist profile

Sossio Capasso comes from Naples in Italy and brings impressive credentials to this occasion. Training at the Conservatorio San Pietro a Majella in Naples provided his foundation. Further refinement came through work with distinguished tutors, including L Ghielmi, L F Tagliavini, J Boyer, N Hakim and E Baiano. Multiple first prizes from international competitions such as Fano Adriano, Baceno-Stresa and Spoleto demonstrate his calibre. Capasso maintains an active schedule across Europe with particular emphasis on historical and contemporary organ pieces.

Programme details

Audiences can look forward to a rich selection of compositions during this concert. Capasso performs works by G Muffat, J S Bach, J Langlais and O Messiaen. These choices celebrate both Baroque traditions and 20th-century innovation. Bach remains central to the festival ethos while the additional composers add depth and variety.
