Impressionismo Musical
Event
What better way to conclude an artistic residency than with a premiere of an unusual piece? Rebecca Saunders presents a piece for nine soloists and orchestra, commissioned by prestigious European cultural promoters. The piece is intended for the Ensemble Intercontemporain, which will have the exclusivity of its presentation, except for this concert, in which the Remix Ensemble Casa da Música takes the lead. Complementing Saunders’ work, two orchestral works by Claude Debussy that reconfigured the musical panorama of the time will be presented. The symbolist sinuosity of “Prélude à L'après-midi d'um Faune” is complemented with the lively exoticism of Iberia, a sound construction based on reminiscences of the composer's trip to Spain. A meeting between two composers who made timbre a basic element of their style.
