In music inspired by tradition and suffused with lyrical melody, the lustrous tone and rhythmic energy of the guitar capture the sounds and sensuality of Spain in a way that no other instrument can.

At the heart of the program is one of the world’s most popular concertos: Rodrigo’s Concierto de Aranjuez, a creative fusion of folk influences and imaginative orchestration. The virtuoso performance captures both the work’s lyrical themes and its lively dance rhythms, conjuring visions of the gardens of Aranjuez and the warmth of the Andalucian sun.

With Bizet’s Carmen suite, De Falla’s El Amor Brujo, Saint-Saëns´ Introduction and Rondo Capricciosoand Sarasate´s Gypsy Airs completing the programme, this is a concert that invokes the spirit and colour of Spain through some of its most beguiling music.
