From Falla's Spanish folklore to the colors and rhythms of Villa-Lobos's deep Brazil, the symphonic concert that inaugurates the new theme of the season traces a path of resonances between tradition and modernity. The Three-Billed Hat, with Catalan mezzo-soprano Marta Infante as soloist, brings us an explosion of Andalusian color and humor, while Bachianas Brasileiras No. 2 fuses German genius with Brazilian soundscapes, including the famous "Trenzinho do Caipira." The program also invites us to discover the expressive universe of Composer in Residence Hèctor Parra with L'Absència, a work that evokes the inner conflicts inspired by the characters of French writer Marie NDiaye.
