New Year’s Concert Concert - »¡España!«
Between fire and melancholy—that is how one might describe the essence of Spanish music. We may well experience a similarly wide range of emotions as the year comes to a close: energy for the new and regret for the time that has irrevocably passed. With works by Spanish composers such as Manuel de Falla, Enrique Granados, and Joaquín Turina, the Graz Philharmonic and ensemble member Anna Brull, under the baton of Principal Conductor Vassilis Christopoulos, guide us through a spirited New Year’s program. Spanish rhythms and melodies found their way into 19th-century French music, particularly through dance elements such as flamenco, pasodoble, and jota. Between the 1870s and World War I, there was a veritable craze for Spain in France, which inspired composers such as Emmanuel Chabrier, Claude Debussy, and Maurice Ravel to create works with thematic and musical references to their neighboring country.
