First concert of the season

Since 2019 we have opened spaces for reflection around music, such as peace, reconciliation and gender equality. Our first concert commemorates Women's Day, and celebrates the talent, inspiration and creation of women in music who have sought to change history. 

The orchestra and the baton of the Frenchman Sylvain Gasançon invite us to encounter the music of living women composers of different generations and styles, who have burst into the world of culture with their own perspective and sensitivity, creatively reflecting the echoes of our society in constant transformation. In addition, the program is completed with iconic works from the universal repertoire of composers Edvard Grieg and Ludwig van Beethoven. 

Music 

The concert includes the compositions of the Colombian Carolina Noguera and the French Graciane Finzi. 

From Noguera we will interpret Autumn Whisperings, a creation in which its composer expresses the image and meaning of the railway, based on experiences lived in Great Britain. The work uses as raw material the sound of a freight train suddenly braking and evokes a reflection on the railroad phenomenon in Colombia, “the idea of an abandoned train that made a sound as if it were still running was inspiring to me,” says the composer. 

Noguera is committed to the search for re-signifying pre-existing musical materials and, in particular, traditional Colombian music. In this way, he frequently assumes composition as an exercise that begins with the transcription of works of that nature.
