Concerts

(Not an ILAMS event, but one we highly recommend!)

London Sinfonietta explores the music of Catalan visionary Roberto Gerhard in this sun-soaked and folkloric programme, alongside three pieces by living composers. Gerhard’s brilliantly virtuosic pieces are named for the zodiac symbols: Libra, his own sign, draws together a colourfully rhythmic folk-like melody with 12-tone influences, while Leo, written for his wife, contrasts the lion’s lazy peacefulness with awe-inspiring outbursts when roused.

Get ready to tango! This year, we're excited to announce a special edition of Echoes Festival celebrating the centenary of the birth of Argentine composers Astor Piazzolla and Ariel Ramírez, and we're proud to be joining forces with the Argentine Embassy in the hosting of the official UK 2021 Piazzolla celebrations, alongside our permanent Festival partner, the Instituto Cervantes.

In our most ambitious edition yet, the Festival offers 22 events across November and December, with a mixture of live and online concerts for you to enjoy whatever your location or level of lockdown, including 10 events filmed in Argentina. (Our four events you can attend in person are highlighted below.) So banish those Autumn blues and let yourself be carried away to the sunnier climes of Ibe/rica as we bring you some sizzling music performed by the hottest talent in Latin classical.
