SOLOS AT THE CGAC. Music Series
The music of the 20th and 21st centuries challenges us by proposing different ways of asking ourselves who we are, both to those who seek to affirm themselves on the basis of what they already know and to those considering a radical form of experience.
The composers taking part in this programme have revolutionised the conscience of our era, crossing the boundaries that music usually assigns to pure beauty, experimentation or, on the other hand, to mass consumption.
The series Solos at the CGAC is an encounter between the public and the essential compositions of our time: those that have best known how to show the plurality of an era through their different aesthetics and formal approaches. This programme also includes an encounter with a number of performers who accept the challenges posed by these compositions, and in doing so run the risk of placing themselves on the least listened-to frontiers of contemporary art. Thus, each of these works proposed here is translated into a different testimony of the present time.
The programme consists of four solo concerts (piano, vocals, accordion and drums) in which the performers will address the audience to explain, using examples, the most relevant aspects of the works and their composers, their reasons for choosing the pieces and the challenges they face.
On the same dates and in the morning, the CGAC will also offer an educational concert programme, with prior registration, aimed at secondary school students.
