The dialogue between poetry and music takes shape in this contemporary lied recital featuring two leading figures from the Catalan scene. Tenor David Alegret and pianist Maria Canyigueral propose a sonic journey through the work of poets such as Josep Carner and Salvador Espriu, set in dialogue with composers including Eduard Toldrà, Antoni Ros Marbà, Salvador Brotons, Alberto García Demestres and Joan Magrané.

The program includes three world premieres: one by Joan Magrané with poems by Ventura Ametller, another by Salvador Brotons with texts by Miquel Martí i Pol and a third by Alberto García Demestres featuring poems by Mireia Calafell, the guest poet of the 2025–26 season.

Championing the vitality of the Catalan art song tradition, the recital brings music and words together in a program marked by great sensitivity and expressive depth.
