THEN I KNEW

---

This performance exhibits one of the most evocative chamber music ensembles (flute, viola, and harp). Claude Debussy confronted unique textures and elevated to the mainstream this formation by composing one of his best-known pieces. Takemitsu's piece "And Then I Knew 'Twas Wind" was inspired by Debussy's sonata. This concert is completed with the Jolivet trio and the explosive work for solo flute by the American composer Marius Diaz de Leon accompanied by a live painting by Marieken Cochius commissioned by CreArtBox

SECOND NIGHT | 7.30 pm

THE BRINGER OF PACE

---

Words and melody grow within this performance led by the baritone voice. The disparity between pieces like Piano Phase and Falla's compositions immerse the listener in an eclectic universe supported only by the sensitivity of the audience. The alteration of the pieces by Caplet, Gaubert, and Falla for baritone voice, takes this music to another dimension. Supported by the visual creations of Spanish video artist Robert Sirvent.
