Information

After the revival of Abestiak, a 1989 work into which Carmelo Bernaola finely wove the ancient melodies of Juan de Antxieta within a contemporary tapestry, we will penetrate the poetic mists of the night. First, with La nuit, an evocative work for women's choir and soprano that Saint-Saëns composed around 1900 and which is a rarely performed gem of French music. And then, with the incidental music that Felix Mendelssohn dreamt up to bring William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream to life. This famous overture sprang from his youthful pen, and just sixteen years later, the German composer completed the score for this comedy which sees dreams and reality intertwine in exaltation of love, and which contains melodies as universal as the Wedding March. François López-Ferrer, a student of Gustavo Dudamel and the winner of the Solti Prize 2024, will lead a purely Basque vocal ensemble: the singers Elena Sancho Pereg and Marifé Nogales, and the choir Vocalia Taldea.
