"Spanish Steps" at Lyric Chamber Music Society

This program blends works by some of the greatest Spanish composers, such as Joaquín Turina, Manuel de Falla, and Enrique Granados, with pieces by lesser-known figures like Antonio Soler and the innovative new wave represented by Andrea Casarrubios. From the reflective "Mensajes del Agua" (2013) and "Afilador" (2020) by Casarrubios to the folk-inspired richness of Turina's "Piano Quartet in A minor" (1931), the elegant minuets of Soler's "Piano Quintet" (1766), and the passionate folk songs of de Falla's "Siete canciones populares" (1914), concluding with Granados's romantic and dynamic "Piano Quintet in G minor" (1894). Together, these pieces create a cohesive style that celebrates the spirit and evolution of Spanish music, offering perspectives from different points of view.
