  • A Plutón Para Saxo Alto Y Piano
    Fémina Clásica inicia hoy su segunda andadura después del exitoso primer concierto el año pasado. Asunto de dos, concierto de todos, pretende ser una metáfora de la concordia y la ilusión con que se inician las relaciones entre dos personas, pero también como un reclamo a la responsabilidad que todos debemos tener ante las consecuencias que puedan generar las discordias y los actos de violencia en la pareja, mayoritariamente contra la mujer. La buena influencia de la música puede contribuir a que las relaciones entre dos personas no generen violencia; y con este propósito las compositoras e intérpretes que participan han querido contribuir para que algún día, más temprano que tarde, el placer de disfrutar la música reemplace al Día Internacional contra la Violencia de Género. Por eso, depende de cada uno de nosotros convertir el asunto de dos en un concierto de todos. El concierto fémina Clásica’09 y su grabación en directo para un disco promocional se enmarcan dentro de las actividades de apoyo al Día Internacional contra la Violencia de Género. 05 I II MARÍA DOLORES MALUMBRES: A Plutón (2007) para saxo alto y piano CRUZ LÓPEZ DE REGO: Tríptico cubano para soprano y piano (1994) Manuel Miján, saxo alto / Sebastián Mariné, piano Consejo, texto: Rafael Estenger Disfraz, texto: Raúl González de Cascorro SOFÍA MARTÍNEZ: La liberación del círculo para violín y viola (2009) * Y te busqué por pueblos, texto: José Martí Guacimara Alonso, violín / Alejandro Garrido, viola Celia Alcedo, soprano / Ana Vega Toscano, piano BEATRIZ ARZAMENDI: Prismas

They carried a message as well as a picture. If we were on holidays, the picture might evoke something of the flavour of the place we were visiting; or the image might serve as a reflection of our humour. The message itself might express the briefest greeting or ramble endlessly, in tiny scribbles, all round the back of the card, barely leaving space for address and stamp. These particular postcards were written to my old friend, Anthony Gilbert. They are ruminations on gesture: musical gestures, gestures of movements by dancers, puppets, marionettes – evocations, responses, and, not least, the physical gestures of our hands on the keyboard as we play them 1: The first postcard is obviously a visit to a French overture.

Ensemble Sinkro is a group that specialises in the realm of new technologies used in modern musical creation. Its hallmarks are the exploration of new modes of expression, experimentation with new instrumental techniques, manipulation of sound via electroacoustic media, interaction with new technologies and fusion with other artistic disciplines such as dance, video or painting. Ensemble Sinkro's main objective is to promote and disseminate newly created contemporary music works. To this end, we commission works from the most prominent present-day composers for their exclusive premieres at concerts. It has been the resident group at the Bernaola Festival in Vitoria- Gasteiz since 2005, where it presents its most innovative projects, focusing on the integration of sound and image and the acoustic and scenic space, offering a mixture of instrumental works, electroacoustics, improvisation, dance, plastic arts, video and theatre. It also tackles different fields of musical experimentation at cultural venues through exchanges with artists and institutions and by collaborating with internationally renowned soloists and ensembles.
