Canciones celebrates the union of popular culture and art music, with Spanish composers who have had a particular impact on their times. With this thread, we weave an itinerary through the centuries, from the popular songs of Federico García Lorca, Manuel de Falla and Maurice Ohana to contemporary works by Mikel Urquiza and Birke Bertelsmeier.
We have chosen to accompany our soprano soloist Amel Brahim-Djelloul with a most atypical quartet, made up of string instruments not rubbed but plucked and struck, whose mandolin, guitar, harp and cymbalum underline the resolutely Iberian ardor of our program.
