Our Wednesday Musical Afternoons are back in person . The pandemic forced us to move them to the digital world and, since April 2020, the Musical Afternoons have not missed their appointment on our YouTube channel.
Every two weeks, Tardes Musicales will offer us a talk on some interesting aspect of music. Carlos Gutiérrez Cajaraville and Manuela del Caño will be in charge of guiding us on this musical journey, just as they have been doing for years. The talks will be held in the library auditorium and admission will be free until full capacity is reached.
Today we are pleased to announce the first lecture of this new cycle of Musical Evenings : Does the whole world fit in a symphony?, by Carlos Gutiérrez Cajaraville.
"A symphony should be like the world: it should embrace everything." This famous phrase, uttered by Gustav Mahler in a conversation with Jean Sibelius, will be the basis of this conference. And, if we take the statement as an ideal that is both musical and philosophical, few works take it as seriously – and, at the same time, with as much irony – as the piece that is the protagonist of our session: Sinfonia (1968), by the Italian composer Luciano Berio (1925-2003).
Wednesday, January 8, 2025 Time: 7:30 p.m.
