Gallagher has traveled to 30 countries on 7 continents. He has appeared in concerts and salon concerts in famous halls around the world, including Carnegie Hall. In particular, the concert in Antarctica, the seventh continent, is said to be the first in human history by a professional pianist.
He has composed many preludes dedicated to people he met during his international concert tours. This time, we will perform a selection of songs centered on conflict areas.
