They seek rather communal, feminist strategies of composition, listening and creative-coexistence. Exposing the emergence of the music itself, ABRA Ensemble bridges the existing limits between contemporary virtuoso vocal art and the performative, transformative encounter with an audience. In the five years since its founding in 2013, the ensemble has performed at a diverse range of venues in Israel and Europe, released a debut album and gained considerable recognition both in the new-music and contemporary performance scene.

Nevertheless, cultural values continue to influence the way in which governments, societies, and individuals behave in regard to the roles that men and women play. In Mexico, despite the cultural values that are embedded in society, women have been able to succeed in areas where, until a few decades ago, it would have been unimaginable.

  • Symposium “The Spanish Contribution to the Independence of the United States: Between Reform and Revolution (1763-1848)”
    Symposium “The Spanish Contribution to the Independence of the United States: Between Reform and Revolution (1763-1848)” Director of the National Portrait Gallery, Mr. Marc Patcher Ambassador Westendorp, Ambassador Eduardo Aguirre, General Sanz Roldán, President of CONACULTA, Mr. Sergio Vela Distinguished Authorities, Ladies and Gentlemen. It is a great pleasure for me, as Chairman of the Board of the US-Spain Council to be here today at the opening of this Seminar on “the Spanish Contribution to the Independence of the United States”. As you know, the US-Spain Council is a non-government institution whose mission is to strengthen ties in all fields of life (business, culture, education...) between our two nations. An important part of our work in the last few years has been what I would call the “historical dimension”: the greater public awareness –both here and in Spain- of the strong historical ties that bind our two countries; ties that date back, as will be clearly shown today and tomorrow, to the very earliest days of the American Revolution. I would like to thank you for your presence here today. I am sure that the outcome of the discussion of these two days will shed much light on what is still a little known part of the history of the United States of America. The organizers have rightly put the discussions in their proper historical context. The Seminar will debate not only the Spanish military and financial assistance to the American patriots, but also the process of Emancipation of the Spanish territories that bordered the young Republic, as well as the evolution of Hispanic heritage in the United States and its cultural relationship with Latin America.

  • Elisabeth Blanke-Biggs
    ELISABETH BLANCKE-BIGGS - Soprano Elizabeth Blancke-Biggs is recognized as one of the most exciting sopranos on the international scene today. Critics have praised her virtuosic bel canto technique, the beauty of her voice, her pyrotechnic coloratura, and her unerring theatricality. A brilliant interpreter of the most demanding roles in the spinto-drammatico soprano repertory, she’s recently appeared as Puccini’s La Fanciulla del West in Sergio Vela’s production at Mexico City’s Palacio de Bellas Artes, Turandot in a new production mounted for her by André Heller-Lopes at the Theatro Municipal of Sao Paolo, Brazil, and for the Gala opening of the opera house in Xian, China, Puccini’s Tosca with the Charleston SC Symphony, and also with the OFUNAM Mexico City, and the Orquesta del Estado de Mexico. She sang Bellini’s Norma at the season opening at the Teatro Municipal in Rio de Janeiro, Strauss’ Elektra in the “Premio Abbiati” award winning production of the Teatro Comunale di Bologna, Gutrune in Götterdämmerung for Teatro Massimo Palermo, Salome with the Orchesta Sinfonica Nacional at the Palacio de Bellas Artes in Mexico City, and Verdi’s Requiem with the OSN at Bellas Artes. In previous seasons she was Violetta in Willy Landin’s new production of Verdi’s La Traviata at the Teatro Argentina de la Plata, for which she was awarded the Argentine Music Critics Association Award as “Discovery of the Year.” She sang Verdi’s Lady Macbeth in Montevideo, and Abigaille in Nabucco and for the Grand Théâtre de Gèneve, which critics hailed as “simply extraordinary…” as well as in Nancy, France, and at the Teatro Nacional de Costa Rica.
